Yesterday, December 1, we awoke in the morning to freezing rain and sleet. Roads and sidewalks were very slick, but then early in the morning it began to warm up and by late morning, although we were still getting rain, most of the ice had disappeared.
We had a little trouble staffing the infirmary due to slick roads but managed to have someone on duty at all shifts.
Today is the first Sunday of Advent so the beginning of a new year of grace in the Church. I was celebrant for the conventual Mass today. We had rather large group of young people on campus for the weekend for a confirmation retreat. Groups were here from both St. Joseph Parish and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish in Springfield, MO.
Work continues on the windmills. The one over closest to the Clyde monastery is all assembled and they are now working on the two just to the northeast of the Abbey.
