Benedictine Medal
 
 
  Next week, the community will participate in a retreat facilitated by Sisters Mary Melady and Patricia Coughlin. A collection of books was compiled in the monastery library by Sister Eleanore Hillenbrand. for the community to consider as a “Retreat with a Book” during this winter retreat.  Perhaps you will find a book listed here that is suitable for your own personal retreat.
