Two
Great Celebrations!
On Thursday,
November 25th, our nation celebrates a day for
giving thanks for the blessings the Lord has given
to us. Keeping with the American tradition,
the monks here at St. Benedict will partake in a
special supper in the evening with the turkey dinner
as well as other activities to celebrate the
holiday! However, the most appropriate way to
start the day is to offer the Lord the perfect
sacrifice of praise at Mass in the morning.
The Liturgy on Thanksgiving Day will be offered in
the morning at 8 a.m.
The
following
day is also a special for us as well! We will
be commemorating the life of St. Sylvester who was
the founder of our Benedictine congregation in the
13th century. This special day will be
celebrated by our community worldwide. It is
also a time to give thanks to the Lord for his
guidance in the life of St. Sylvester as well as our
congregation throughout the centuries and ask his
continued blessings on us as we look to the
future. As a solemnity for our
community, like the Mass on Thanksgiving day will be
offered at 8 a.m. All are welcome to join us
at both Liturgies!
