Last weekend Father Frowin and Postulant Adam and some other monks used the cherry picker we have rented to go up high and take some pictures. These two were taken by Postulant Adam and are rather impressive of the Basilica and towers and the front part of the monastery. To enlarge the pictures, just click on them.The other picture shows some of the bicycles here last week on Thursday when a couple hundred bicycle riders descended on Conception for a stop on their eight day tour of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. They are known as the Border Raiders and the ride is an opportunity to test your stamina, enjoy the scenic Missouri River Valley and ride through some inspiring places of history in our country. The ride starts in Lawrence, Kansas and ends back at Lawrence. They stopped here early in the morning to tour and enjoy some refreshments.
One more reminder to the Oblates. The "Pray and Work" weekend is coming up soon, July 11-13. If you have not yet registered be sure to contact the guest department at 660-944-2809.

Thank you for the beautiful photos, Father Kenneth. Have a wonderful 4th of July holiday and a very happy birthday on Monday! God bless you and all of the Monks of Conception Abbey.
