DAILY PRAYER AND MASS SCHEDULE All are welcome to join us at daily worship. Click here for our daily prayer schedule which begins at 4:00am and ends at 7:30pm. CURRENT ROAD CONDITIONS Updated at 9 AM Saturday, June 5, 2021.ROAD CONDITIONS
The Forest Service Road 151 into the Monastery is considerably damaged in places throughout. Areas of concern are (1) long straight-aways, (2) around cattle guards, & (3) through marked "Flash Flood Area". Erosion and wet driving have produced potholes and raised protruding rocks which may damage tires at higher speeds. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN is the inbound side of the first cattle guard shortly beyond the end of pavement. Incoming cars may avoid this pothole by bearing much to the right. We recommend additional caution, even for familiar drivers, until the road is resurfaced. Updated at 9 AM Saturday, June 5, 2021.GENERAL UPDATE
