Mount Saviour Monastery
July 2013
News:
On July 3rd. 7 members of the community went to the Samaritan Center
of Elmira, an outreach unit of Catholic Charities, that provides necessary
services for vulnerable people. We were treated to a luncheon and
had the oppurnity to hear from the Catholic Charities staff about the many
ways They help the under-served. We were able to support them
financially from major gains in our investments. The 4th of July
was celebrated with a picnic for 35 people with the traditional menu: hot
dogs, hamburgers, etc. On July 19th, five monks went on a pilgrimage
to the Shrine of Sr. Mary Ann Cope in Syracuse. On July 20th,
Br. Pierre went to Canada for an annual family reunion with a couple
from Elmira. This year, the garden is in good condition and should
show an abundant crop. Br. Bruno began the hay harvest on
July 14th and was able to harvest what we need for the winter.
