A Photo Album The Transfiguration Daily Schedule

 

As a Community, we try to respond to the invitation of Jesus, "Follow Me." Our way is neither entirely active nor entirely contemplative. In this "mixed life" we try to keep a balance between prayer and service, letting our prayer life guide and sustain our self-offering as we reach out to those in need.

As Episcopalians and as part of the Anglican Communion, we are inheritors of a rich and varied liturgy. The Book of Common Prayer is a vital part of our life and worship, in the Divine Office as well as the Holy Eucharist. Thoughout the year we hear, sing and pray the Scripture stories about the working of God in creation, and are thereby invited to offer ourselves in response. The daily schedule page will give you an idea of the structure of our life.

The Photo Album includes assorted pictures of the Convent, our grounds and Sisters involved in daily life here and in our Branch Houses.

On "The Transfiguration" page, you will find St. Luke's account of the  Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor.

  The stained glass windows in the nave of our Chapel depict founders of Religious Orders. When facing the Altar, the windows on the right show founders of twentieth century Anglican Orders.  The windows on the left side depict founders of Orders that had their beginnings in earlier times. The window pictured on this page shows Mother Eva Mary, who founded our Community.  She is shown holding the Christ Child.
