Organ and violin concert

A visitor for a few days this week was Abbot Christopher, pictured on the right of the photo. Abbot Christopher is abbot of Worth Abbey in England. With him is Brother Gabriel, a monk from Worth Abbey, who is studying here in our seminary. Abbot Christopher has been here a couple times before and this time was on his way to Chile for a meeting of International Benedictine secondary school personnel.

Thursday evening we had an organ and violin concert in the basilica. Mr. Gregory Sandomirsky was the violinist. He is the Associate Concertmaster of the Kansas City Symphony. The organist was Father Paul Turner, an alumnus and a pastor in the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.

Some of the windmills in our area have now been set up and you can see them from quite a distance. They will certainly get the attention of people when they are all set up.
