Although the brotherhood has already been using the new church for half a year, work continues to bring it fully to completion. Since our last newsletter, the cupolas and crosses have been successfully placed atop the domes of the church as well as the belltower, finally bringing the exterior of the church to completion.
Many of the laity may wonder how to make the principles of monastic life their own. The Christian life and struggle of laymen and monastics are lived out differently, but their essence is the same: the Person and work of our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ. His incarnation, passion, and resurrection were for every single person.
