More snow (3-4 inches) on February 5, 2010
Taken inside monastery looking through windowinto the courtyard.
Just want all of you to know that, while much of the snow we had in January has melted, we keep getting a little more now and then to remind us that winter is not over yet.
With regard to our renovated St. Stephen Health Care Center, we are enjoying it very much. Some furniture is still arriving. I am including a couple pictures of that below.

We here at Conception are getting ready for Lent. As St. Benedict states in his Rule, each of the monks "should make known to the abbot what he intends to do, since it ought to be done with his prayer and approval." Abbot Gregory gives each monk twenty minutes to come in and talk to him and ask for his approval on what they propose to do special during Lent. I hope all of us are starting to make some plans for Lent so that it can be a time to truly prepare for the joy of Easter.
A week ago, on Friday evening, January 29, we held our annual SOS (Support Our Seminarians) dinner and auction at the Mariott Hotel in downtown Kansas City. About 730 people attended this year. Since a number of my family were attending, I also went down for this event. I believe this was the 17th year for this event.
I encourage all of you to go to the Conception Abbey web site for more information about Conception or to read my Oblate blog. Click here please
