(Our Monastic Schedule is far from the ideal but due to the small size of the community and our heavy workload, we must arrage things thus in order to keep a healthy balance. On the first Thursday of each Month we have Holy Hour and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM and from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM; also, because Charity and the good of the Community comes first, all Monks are prepared and willing to adapt to whatever a given situation may demand of them, regardless how hard or inconvenient.)
