Tonight I am at a gala and fundraiser for the wonderful community of Benedictine monks at Norcia in Italy. They are in Italy. We are in Connecticut.
Look them up! Click HERE
Card. Burke is here. I had a chat with him earlier.
I can’t speak highly enough of these good people.
Some shots.
Did I mention the incredible beer?
Fr Nivakov gave a charming intro.
Fr Cassian prayed for our meal and then gave a talk about the monastery.
Auction time. With Al Barber.

since Sat., 25 Nov. 2006:
Wish I could meet Card Burke, shake his hand and say “thank you”.
An evening with The Cardinal!
I wonder how Fr. Cassian’s health is? I hope and pray he is doing well and in remission.
My husband and I received an invitation, but unfortunately we could not attend. I wondered if Bro Francis would be there, along with that great beer.
Cardinal Burke! Enough said.
Looks like a nice time, Father Z. I wonder if Father Reggie Norman was there tonight?
Viva Norcia! Vaya lio!
I assume you’ll be at the Mass at St. Mary’s this morning? See you there, Father!
One of my brothers traveled up from VA for the event. I’ve have to ask him if he had the opportunity to meet you. :)
Perfect opportunity for Penne alla norcina
Fr. Benedict…I still remember him walking in the garden as a novice, then “Br. Jeremy.”
Birra di Nursia, bionda o extra? Questo è il problema.
