First Update

     Almost 12 years have passed since our website has been updated. Little progress has been made on the construction site, but truly, God’s ways are not our ways, and His timing is certainly not our timing. Life is bittersweet, however, and while the brick and mortar remains in disrepair, other foundations are being made. Brother Richard is currently in seminary formation and, God willing, his ordination to the priesthood will take place in the spring of 2025.

The trailer pictured in our archives has been removed and two houses nearby have been converted into cells, one of which has a chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved and Mass is offered on special feast days. All of the hermitages are currently occupied and the prospect of converting the “Big Building” into more "cells" and communal spaces including a larger chapel, has not been abandoned, but the road ahead is a long one which will require much planning and even more help from God.

    We hope to make regular updates either seasonally or as events unfold in this little corner of the world. Until next time, please enjoy some photos of the beauty that surrounds us in our daily lives.
