Golden Years Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Glad you liked it! I just think it's amazing what the monks have done there, in such a relatively short period of time. Obviously thanks to a lot of hard work by the local people there. :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it just so happens that they have a brand new community of nuns about a mile and a half from the monks, the Benedictine Sisters of Clear Creek. Or, if you prefer a more established community, I recommend the Benedictine nuns at Westfield, Vermont. I spent a few days with them several years ago and they are fabulous! They are a daughter house of the Abbaye Sainte-Marie des Deux-Montagnes, a primarily French speaking community in Quebec, all of the Congregation of Solesmes. They chant the Office in Latin. (Naturellement!) :nun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
