After some major repairs, the twenty-five year old fountain in the middle of our cloister garden is functioning well once again.
Underground pipes that had broken have been replaced and upgrading of the water recycling system was done as well.
The design of our fountain was inspired by a fountain at the Benedictine Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos in Spain. Workers here in the mid-1990s did an excellent job of constructing the fountain for us.
Traditionally, water fountains are placed in the center of monastic living quarters. The idea is to remind the monks that Christ, the source of Living Water, should be at the center of our lives.
Greetings and prayers for all our families and friends.
Abbot Christian and the monks
