A Message From Transfiguration Monastary, Benedictine Sisters, Pennsylvania

Dear Chris,
Thanks so much for the message. It is good for us to know that there is another Benedictine group with the same name. It seems there are many groups such as yours today and we find great joy in knowing that. A friend of ours, a UCC minister is also a founder of such a group. Our own oblate/associate group is ecumenical also. We are blessed to be able to share Benedict's way with a lot of good people in all the groups we have started here. Our lives are enriched by the sharing!

My Sisters and I appreciate very much the prayers you promise and assure you of ours in return. I would especially ask that you ask the Lord for vocations to our community that we may expand and continue the ministries we are involved in. By the way our retreat in August was directed by Sister Margaret Malone from you city of Perth. Although I realize it is a large
city, having this Benedictine connection you probably know her or of her. It was a really good retreat.

May God bless you all and once again thanks for the prayers and getting in touch.
With prayer,
Sister Germaine Hartle, OSB
