On Saturday, May 25th, the community of St. Josephs’s Abbey in Spencer, MA celebrated the Solemn Profession of Br Michael Rzasa. The nearby community of Trappistine nuns in Wrentham, MA is currently hosting the regional conference of our junior monks and nuns. The Wrentham sisters rented a bus so that both their community and the regional juniors could join us in celebrating. It was a jam-packed* monastic event and everyone had a good time. From his Slavic heritage, Br Michael made sure there was sufficient galumpki for all.
