On June 15, the sisters welcomed the first six women who will be living and working with us for varying lengths of time this summer as part of our Volunteer in Community program. They come from around the U.S. and from New Zealand and bring much energy for caring for the earth and learning about Benedictine life. We have invited them to write about their experiences and reflections as they work on the monastery grounds, pray, eat and share leisure time with us. You will begin seeing posts from some of them soon.
