Visit from our Archbishop


 Last Saturday on the feast of St. Bernard  Archbishop Jackels came to celebrate Mass and to have brunch with us afterwards.  We have not visited with him for a few years because of the covid crisis.

We caught up on diocesan news and news of our community.  He has a great sense of humor so it was fun too!

OMAHA YOUTH VISIT US FOR THE WEEEND

This past weekend a group of about 20 young people, ages 14 to college age came to OLM to learn about monastic life.  They joined us for prayer in the chapel and visited with some sisters during meals at our Welcome center.  They toured our farm on Saturday afternoon.  On Sunday after Mass they all met with a panel of sisters for questions and answers.  We really enjoyed them and they seemed to enjoy their time at OLM.





hey seemed to have enjoyed the time with us too.
