Morning update...

Our little road is passable & clear up the mountain here. So Fr Dcn Laurence & Sr Katherine will be doing Readers Services for Matins & Typica starting around 9:30am. We will not be doing the full communal coffee time.

Due to this weather & our road conditions, Fr Benedict will be unable to travel here for this weekend.

As of right now, Fr Dcn Laurence & Sr Katherine are planning on Readers Matins & Typica Sunday at 9:30am.

This may change if we can't get up the mountain to the chapel. Please check in early Sunday morning for any changes.

As of right now Great Vespers Saturday evening is canceled due to weather.
