Here’s a photo of the progress in the chapel. As you can see the side walls that will hold up the new vaulting are in place. The workers aren’t exactly monastic in their silence but they do work hard. Not sure the monks ever expected to hear Beyoncé on the radio in the chapel…
If you would like to contribute to the renovation program please call me at 540-486-5674 (note new phone number) or on my mobile phone at 617-962-6220. I can also be reached at companions@virginiatrappists.org…
Also our friends are reminded we are worshiping in the Chapter Room and there is VERY LITTLE space, so please for the time being make other arrangements for mass.
I will keep you updated as construction continues.
