All the Brothers Are Home Again

We were so delighted to welcome Br. Robert James back into our community on Wednesday the 20th of July. He returned from the Monastic Formators Programme in Rome and Assisi, with its excellent courses and wonderful trips to various monasteries and historical places throughout Italy, and from visiting his friends and family in the US. As you can imagine, he is full of stories and excitement from his trip, but he is happy to be back. We are happy to have him back as well. He is the fourth person from our community to have participated in the Monastic Formators Programme. Now the community is complete just in time for our annual Long Retreat from the 26th of July to the 5th of August. Please pray for us as we enter this very holy time.
