On the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary, Wednesday 12 September, I will be leaving Connecticut to be of service until the end of November to the Benedictine community at the Monastère Saint-Benoît in Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne, France. I will be flying Swissair, New York to Geneva, and then traveling over the Jura Mountains into the Franche-Comté in eastern France to Nans–sous-Sainte-Anne. The village has 142 inhabitants and a number of cows. There is a lovely 16th century church. I hope that I will have internet access there. The village is remote! Does Vultus Christi have any readers in France? My address there will be:
Monastère Saint-Benoît
25330 Nans-sous-Ste-Anne

His Excellency, Bishop Edward J. Slattery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live under the Rule of Saint Benedict in adoration before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus, offering thanksgiving, intercession, and reparation for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. In this way, Father is preparing the foundation of the new Diocesan Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Father Mark is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental support in their pursuit of holiness. He is also charged with the spiritual formation of women who desire to dedicate themselves to spiritual motherhood in favour of priests.
