On Tuesday, we celebrated the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, our patronal feast. We sang the festive office and had a beautiful Eucharist. The Rev. Matthew Wright preached the sermon.

We had fewer guests during the week. But we filled up to our Covid-19 capacity of 28 guests this weekend.

Friday evening saw the arrival of our new intern, Eric Anthony. He will be with us for nine months, living alongside our community to experience what 21st monasticism is like. Eric joined us in choir this Sunday. He will join our postulant, David Beckham, for monastic formation classes.
