Message from the Prioress

July is a month of celebration here at the monastery. With the rest of St. Joe, we’ll be entering into the festive spirit of the Fourth of July. On July 11, we will celebrate the Feast of Saint Benedict. This year, we are especially joyful because Sister Nina Lasceski makes her perpetual monastic profession on that date. Finally, on July 21, we honor the sisters making their Golden (50th) Jubilee this year. Truly, we have much to be thankful for and much to celebrate.
