The brief video above includes the front of the Basilica and the towers and the ringing of bells before vespers on Saturday, July 19, 2008. Hope you enjoy it and that it will serve as a reminder of Conception Abbey.
The weather has been quite hot lately and is supposed to stay that way. We have not yet had a day up to 100 degrees but it has been up in the 90's and, as any of you know who have lived in the midwest, we usually have some rather hight humidity.
This weekend and through Monday, July 21, the Swiss American congregation of Benedictines are having their Congregation meeting at St. Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana. This meeting is held every three years. It includes the Abbot (or superior) of each monastery in the Congregation and one elected representative from each monastery. Abbot Gregory and Father Patrick are there from Conception Abbey. Brother Thomas is also there as he is on the Abbot President's Council. There are sixteen abbeys or priories in the Swiss American Congregation.
Father Daniel, the Prior returned home from his pilgrimage to the Holy Land last Tuesday. It seems to have been a good trip but very fast and so much to see in a short time.
Hope you are all having a good summer. God's blessing be with all of you.
