Life and Work at our Peru Monastery
Belmont Webmaster • February 14, 2020
Abbot Paul has just got back from a visit to our monastery in Peru at Lurin, south of Lima. He found our monks to be in good spirit. They are an incredibly active group, growing vegetables and now producing many things for sale: honey, yoghurt, fruit juice and smoothies, panettone and pineapple and fruit vinegar. See the pictures below, to see them at work and some of their products. Fr Alex will be over in the summer to lead some Icon workshops. Click on the images to see them in full.
It was wonderful to see so many people at the annual torchlight procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful magic and music with Fr Dominic and friends... all in a good cause.
At a solemn Mass, the feast of St Basil and St Gregory, Br Alban makes his promises as a claustral oblate.
