If you've never been to Erie's only monastery, or never attended an Advent vigil, we invite you to join us on Saturday, December 7. In between, join the sisters for dinner in the monastery dining room. The tour begins and 4:00 p.m. and will be followed by dinner with the sisters. Please make your reservations here. There is no cost, donations are accepted, but we do need to know how much food to prepare. The monastery gift shop, Chapter 57, will also be open. It features original works by a number of artists as well as books and gifts. At 7:00 p.m. the Advent Vigil begins in the quiet and dark of the monastery chapel. You are invited to attend the Advent Vigil each week, beginning Saturday November 30, and Saturdays December 7, 14, and 21. The tour and dinner will only take place on December 7.
