You’re not gonna believe this…
Over the past few months we heard from some people here and there that they sent us emails to which we never responded. Ends up, the emails were never received! Until...last Saturday! After two more complaints, we started sniffing around. After an entire day of useless attempts at trying to problem solve, at last...we found [...]

Sr. John-Mark and Sr. Tara singing their latest hit: "We All Live in a Mon-a-stery", set to "We all live in a yellow submarine.' How grateful we are for the gift of humor! Living in the desert of Tonopah, AZ has many perks, and one of the greatest has to be the night [...]
“If I could be any vegetable in the garden…” and other deep thoughts

Louder, I can’t hear you!
Fr. John Auther praying the Litany of Loretto after the May Crowning, 2013 I enjoy reading all of Pope Francis' homilies, his talks, EVERYTHING! But I must admit, that - thus far - my favorite is the homily he gave at Sts Elizabeth and Zechariah Parish in Rome. His homily was particularly directed [...]
