Brother Sixtus Roslevich reports on his recent trip to Manhattan for the Abbot’s Reception. He also updates us on the oblation of Heather King at St. Andrew’s Abbey in California.

With the School preparing to depart for its Christmas break, the themes of Abbot Michael Brunner’s Advent Reflection led us through the season to Christmas and to the Epiphany of the Lord to the Three Wise Men – and to each of us.

The Christmas narrative tells us there was "no room at the inn" for the expectant Madonna and Child. Our monastery, which added the patronage of Our Lady, Queen of Peace in the 1950's, has found room for her in a variety of places, which we highlight in this Christmas issue.
