Robert Ivers Closes the Series of Lecture:
On Sunday December 9th, our oblate,
Robert Ivers, gave a slide presentation on monastic art and architecture.
He linked his talk with the notion of simplicity and hospitality that characterize
Mount Saviour in its new buildings. He showed different types of
monasteries where those two themes are in evidence. He had many illustrations
of the church at Ronchamp by Le Corbusier. Modern architecture and
simplicity was obvious. When he showed the design of his house, we
could recognize the influence of Mount Saviour in some details.
News:
At the beginning of the month, we sent our Christmas
Chronicle to the printer and published an internet edition in color.
On December 12th, Fr. Martin went to New York City for an oblate
meeting. We deplore the death of Fred Fuller who has been
a generous supporter of the monastery with his sister Elizabeth for many
years. We thank Julianna Calderone for preparing our Crêche.
For the last Sunday of the year (Holy Family), we were invited for the
blessing of the Cerneras' house, located on a hill across the monastery.
Dr. Anthony Cernera with his wife and 4 children, had an
active participation in this meaningful ceremony. We thank all those
who supported us thoughout the year. Your contribution was used to
pave the road to St. Gertrude's and the parking lot, the renovation at
St. Gertrude's and the care of our elderly monks.
Happy New Year
