July 26 2009 Dedication Service


John and Faye Cooper, Bishop Taylor, David Finck, Mike Galleher and Tom Eshelman


One of the Sisters of The Transfiguration from Cincinnati Ohio who happened to be at their Chapter House in Bat Cave and drove up for the service. Bishop Weinhauer was their spiritual director for many years




Bishop Taylor gave some wonderful remarks. He likened the people who have stayed and will stay at the hermitages to the Butterfly Effect in that the ripples of what they learn on their time in this special place will ripple out into the universe.




Bishop Taylor has knocked on the door with his crozier and then made the sign of the cross on the threshold of St. Anthony's Chapel


Pipe Major Sandy Jones played the bagpipes for the service. He opened with Highland Cathedral and closed with Amazing Grace


The crowd gathers in a semi circle

It is hard work making all the stones fit in place
