A group of Mount Michael students spent Thursday
night at Vespers and dinner with the Monks. Later in the night, there was a
bonfire on the bluff followed by a reflection about prayer and group discussion.
The late night ended with prayer in the chapel. After joining monks for prayer
and Mass Friday morning, Abbot Michael gave the students a talk about his
calling to be a priest. For the grand adventure: Mr. Connealy and Mr. Hotovy
took the students to the remote fringes of Fontenelle Forest where students
climbed “Mount Doom” and navigated the wilds. Lastly, the expedition departed
for the Holy Family Shrine where students spent silent time reflecting and
prayer. The stay at the Shrine concluded with a group discussion about
resolutions to become the best-version-of-yourself and to pray daily. More Photos
