Chapel under renovation, Divine Liturgies at shrine chapel
Our chapel is currently closed for renovation until the end of October or November. Our Divine Liturgies are being celebrated at the outdoor chapel of the Shrine of Our Lady of Mariapoch. To the north of our chapel is a long, gravel driveway that takes you straight to the shrine chapel. Restrooms are located at the cafeteria, and the nuns will come to open them about 20 min. before the start of Liturgy. For our daily office (daily liturgical services), you are welcome to join us in the white tent around the left side of the monastery. In inclement weather, we may be praying inside the monastery; please ring the doorbell if we are not in the tent.
We have returned to one spoon for the distribution of the Eucharist (May 2022)
During the pandemic, we have been using individual spoons for the distribution of the Eucharist. Now, with the direction of our bishop, we have returned to the usual practice of a common spoon. So, please DO NOT close your mouth on the spoon anymore. Tilt back your head, open your mouth wide, and allow the priest to drop the Eucharist into your mouth.
