  Some Good News:
  Our trails are now reopened after the big storm recently which brought down many branches and made the trails unuseable. We have completed the clean-up operation and we are good to go. Enjoy!
- Water Shortages at the Abbey 9/1/2020
  
  Like many of our neighbours in the farming community we are experiencing severe water shortages. Deacon Jose has found a way to get us water from an outside source to keep us 'ticking over' on a temporary basis. But it looks like we are going to have to start drilling for a new well when we get the report from the geologist. During the Covid Crisis the constant mantra was "Wash your hands, wash your hands." Now, to save water, it is "Don't wash your hands, don't wash your hands!" :)

- New Signs For the Abbey Trails (5/8/2020)
  
  We have completed most of the signs for the Abbey Hiking Trails. We hope this will give an improved spiritual and peaceful experience for our hiker-guests. We are also aiming at improving conservation for wildlife and plant-life. We have to thank our plant-manager, Deacon Jose, who worked hard to get the project finished on time. Well done Jose!
