Several times each week two of our monks prepare and bake bread for the monks and guests on retreat to enjoy. One brother prepares the “no-kneading crusty bread,” and another bakes the loaves in our new trusty Southbend Convection Oven.
As a means to enhance the retreat experience of our guests, and to balance the workload of the monastic community, we now limit the number of guests on retreat here to ten persons at a time.
Making reservations on our website may look like there are “empty rooms” that could be occupied, but in fact the system cuts off the number of reservations possible at ten occupants at a time, so even though there are in fact empty rooms, we have reached the limit for any given day.
Some potential guests have phoned us asking about the reservation process, but here is an explanation until we can also have it posted on our website.
Winter isn’t quite over yet, and we are getting intermittent snow today. Moisture in any form is most welcome, so we are glad to see some snow falling today.
The holy season of Lent is only hours away. See our “Homily Page” for a reflection on this important liturgical season soon to be starting.
We keep you in our prayers and are grateful for yours.
Abbot Christian and the monks
