Thank You........

Have you ever had one of those weeks that you know cannot be duplicated....it is the moments in our lives that we say "This is a God moment...Thank You!" 

Ryan Baumgratz returned to the United States and his family Friday morning after serving in Irag.  Not only is his family and relatives thankful for his safe return...but we Sisters are grateful for his service and can't wait to see him as well.....isn't this picture worth a million......Love has no price....

The roofers completed reshingling the monastery without one incident or accident.  Heights reached over 82 feet and the pitch of the roof is very steep.  Again, thank you......but God is never outdone in generosity....as told in the blog yesterday...the entire fence was painted for the first time since it was erected............and........

Dylan Hanes, along with his parents, sister, friends and relatives restored the summer house that is located in our cemetery for his project for Eagle Scout Award.  The rotten boards and broken lattice where replaced, stained and painted.....and thanks to his efforts...it looks like new....
It has been an awesome week and "Thank You"...just doesn't say it all....but we hope you know how much we appreciate it......

A New Look .....

It was the hottest week of the summer but Kevin, Luke, Mary and Gabriel Kraus along with Maura Keyes and Carley Schneider....plugged away tirelessly to repaint the fence that surrounds our property.  With rollers, brushes, liquids and old clothes...they painted every morning for over a week.  The chain fence was transformed from rust to an "evergreen" green once again...

Many people do not see what a gift these young men and women are....but their willingness to help others...to give of their time, and energy .....is so wonderful.....they are our future and with hearts like these....we are in very good hands!

The Benedictine Sisters want to thank all who graciously gave of their time and energy to beautify our home....words are so inadequate...but you are in our prayers.

A big Thank You goes out to Dick Wolfe, John Hacket and Paul Shade who without their support this would not have been possible..(they are a bit camera shy)..Thank You!!!!
