Mount Saviour Monastery
August 2012
News:
The community had a summer outing on the Calderone's property.
Dr. Calderone treats many monks during the year and his wife prepared delicious
Italian dishes on this occasion. Our patronal feast, the Transfiguration
on Aug. 6th, is a reminder that "It is good to be here." as the three apostles
experienced in the presence of the Lord. Our D-Day was celebrated
on Aug. 12th with friends who shared a brunch after mass and enjoyed a
music recital with Clare Smock and friends. Two observers spent some
time with us to discern their vocation and know more about our life style.
Monastic life is often thought of as a Medieval Institution and it is important
to show that it is relevant in our days as a "school of the Lord's service"
where we learn more about God and ourselves in a group that shares lasting
values.
