The community welcomed and blessed three young women who recently moved into the monastery. Sister Diane Rabe, administrator of the community, invites the sisters to bless Emilia Otte from Connecticut and Miriam Freer from Philadelphia. Miriam is working with Benedictines for Peace and Emilia with Monasteries of the Heart and Sacred Pathways, an outreach of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Paul. Michelle Scully, director of the Peacemakers Program, introduced Emilia and Miriam to the community.
The welcome and blessing was extended to Sophie Trusty, a student at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, who is interning in the Communications and Development Office and living at the monastery this summer.
