Fr Prior and Br Patrick have safely returned to the monastery after two beautiful retreats at Woodlands of Marburg, QLD. 35 women and 30 men followed these retreats which were the first ones held in Queensland since 2017.
The presence of the monks was also the occasion for the reception of a new novice oblate and the oblate promise of another. Mrs Madonna Mclindon received the oblate scapular on 30 September and Mrs Beatrice Reilly made her oblate promise on 3 October, both in the lovely little church of St Boniface which is present on the site of Woodlands.
