Bishop Taylor was the first "official" guest at the hermitages when he came up for a retreat after the Diocesean Convention in November. Unfortunately the weather was very cold and the heater in the hermitage was not working properly so Bishop Taylor had to abandon his retreat and come down to the Inn for the remainder of the week where he had a great time sitting by the fire. We thank him for his good humor and constant smile during his stay.

Blizzard conditions
It was cold and snowy but very beautiful.
You could hardly see across the site the snow was blowing so hard.
Snow covered everything on this very cold and windy day
Joe Rickman and Erwin McKenzie come up in the middle of a real blizzard to install the bronze plaques on the St. Paul's and Good Shepherd Hermitages. Erwin's dad was the Rev. Frank McKenzie and in whose memory along with his mother Martha St. Paul's raised the funds to build the Thomas Merton Hermitage.
Dale Townsend looks at the cherry boards as they go up the wall in the chapel. They are going to be beautiful when finished.
Lito looks at the progress.
Up and up they go!
The blue circles are the electric boxes for the wall sconces.
A cold wintry day.
