<br />
Through a collaborative effort with Same Sun of Vermont (a solar-electric design company based in Rutland, VT), we installed an array of solar panels on the field next to our parking lot. With this short video, we would like to share some of the work done and to thank all those involved in this project.<br />

In May 2019 we went back to Spain (5 years after our last visit), to be with the Trinitarian Nuns of Suesa. Join us as our communities gather at rich sharings, while we enjoy the opportunity to discover more of the culture and beauty of Cantabria.<br />

Highlights of the year in community: our prayer and daily work, our visits with our Mexican Benedictine Sisters, some construction (we have a new bell tower) and more.

<br />
In recent years we have discovered monastic resonance with a community of Trinitarian Nuns from Spain. In September 2014 we were graced with the opportunity to experience the life and monastic witness of these Sisters in their monastery in Suesa, Cantabria, in northeast coastal Spain.<br />
