Oh I'm glad you found this SaintIrene, I was wondering when they would have their site up. I had a wonderful visit with them in August, 2010. I absolutely loved their life, but I was having health issues then and they could not accept me. As much as I really loved their life though, I see now that is was providential that I was not able to enter there. I would encourage anyone interested in them to call them. They are very much available and always returned my phone calls within a day. And, going to the monastery for Mass with the monks, well, what can I say except incredible. The sisters' house is across the road from the entrance to the monks' monastery which is about a mile drive. Peace, joy and silence abounds.

Oh they're from the Solesmes congregation, I'm visiting one of their sister monasteries in the UK in a few weeks.

I'm glad you approve Maximilianus! I love the pic of Sr. Katherine with the deer! He let me pet him when he was just a baby. He lives with the caretakers of the guest house.

I love the pictures. I don't think I've come across an order that attend two masses a day before.

Thank you so much for providing this link! I just signed up for their newsletter. I had heard of them, but never knew any details. Great resource!

Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between low mass and high mass. do participants receive the eucharist at both masses?

Yes, I'm thinking of discerning with them! Their community is England is apparently wonderful, I hear nothing but praises about them.

[/quote] Oh, no, they only assist at one Mass, usually the 11am High Mass unless there is a schedule change for some reason.
