Last Sunday we invited the juniors attending the Junior Seminar over to our abbey. The juniors of our order meet yearly for two weeks to study together and to get to know other juniors in the order and experience Cistercian life in another monastery. Juniors are monks and nuns in simple vows preparing to make solemn profession. We visited with them in our Chapter Room. Then they had a tour of our candy operation and of our farm. We prayed Vespers together in Church, followed by a pizza supper in our refectory. We then prayed Compline together and the juniors returned to New Melleray for another week of classes.
