and with it news: the abbess of the motherhouse,Mother Agnes Day, at Mt. St. Mary's in Wrentham, MA is retiring after 22 years!--She apparently is wonderful, and is at least partially responsible for that monastery's founding of three daughter houses at Crozet VA, Mississippi Abbey in Dubuque IA and Sonoita AZ.
