The Conventual Priory
Chapter
This Thursday,
November 15th our community will convene the Conventual
Priory Chapter. This is a special series of meetings
held every year for the members of our priory during which
reports about the monasteries, the well-being of the
monks, the properties, efforts, etc. will be presented and
future plans discussed. Based on the presentations
and deliberations proposals can be made and decided
upon. The participants in the Chapter are the
solemnly professed monks (with the exception of those
excused by the Prior for various reasons). “The
Conventual Priory Chapter is of the greatest importance in
the life of the Conventual Priory as a sign of unity and a
means of sharing responsibility among all the brethren”
(Constitutions, Chapter 3, Part III, no. 111).
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will inspire and guide
the monks during the proceedings of the Chapter as we
carry on the monastic vision handed on to us from our Holy
Fathers, Saints Benedict and Sylvester! For last week's news story, click here.
