Fifteen men from the ACTS Mission joined the Community and friends to pray the Divine Office and celebrate the Eucharist.  They continued here through the day with a mini retreat in preparation for the Thursday to Sunday retreat they will offer to their brothers in the Faith at the Franciscan Retreat Center in Prior Lake starting next Thursday

…have completed a long list of “to do’s” at the Monastery

And are about ready to mount their beautiful trucks,

Heading to their lake places to enjoy the early days of autumn.

Sister Lucie and her brother, Dominique La Fleur  

Dominique joined us for the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours.

He is knowledgeable in so many fields that we were continually engaged by his intelligence and wit.
