Luigi Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Assumption Abbey (Benedictine Monks in North Dakota) has about a dozen short videos - maybe 5 minutes each? - on its web site. They provide some good insight into the life of the monks & the monastery, if you're interested.

Posted on Facebook 13 July, 2015: "We have two exciting updates to announce. First, on July 11, Novice James Raber made his first profession of vows today as the community celebrated the Feast of Saint Benedict. Second, on July 10, Mr. Ronald Basque, who has lived with the community as a postulant for several months, was invested as a novice at Vespers and received the name Brother Augustine. Photos will be posted soon!" Belmont has had a pretty steady stream of vocations in the last five or six years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
