Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Monastery of the Holy Cross


1
Monastery of the Holy Cross
  • Benedictine Monks of Chicago
  • (One of Susans favorite groups.)

2
Silence in the City
  • These Benedictine Monks live on the loop in
    downtown Chicago.
  • One of their ministries is to provide a place of
    silence in the noisy, bustling city.

3
Bed Breakfast
  • They have a gorgeous BB that they rent.
  • You might remember the Benedictine slogan is
    ora et labora or prayer and work.
  • This BB is one of the ways they work to earn
    their way.

4
Living Room BB
  • My husband and I went to Chicago last year for a
    fun trip.
  • We stayed at the BB and can wholeheartedly
    recommend it!

5
Why?
  • Not just because the kids werent there!

6
Why?
  • The best breakfast around. Brother Brendan is a
    great cook. There is always some type of fresh
    bread or muffin. One morning we had cranberry
    muffins, and the next morning we had cinnamon
    rolls.
  • Huge space. The BB has 2 bedrooms w/double beds,
    living room, kitchenette, bathroom, office (w/fax
    phone), etc.
  • The monks had their mothers and sisters decorate
    so its really cozy and lovely.
  • Great Italian family restaurant down the street.

7
Notes
  • Guess who brought the wrong disk? Thus I didnt
    have my very cute childhood photo featuring my
    mother with a bouffant hairdo, doll cake, and
    matching individual doll cupcakes!
  • Instead, thanks to Mary Lee explaining how to do
    it, I was able to right click on the monasterys
    web site and borrow photos for this presentation.
  • Their site is www.chicagomonk.org

8
The End
  • P.S. You also missed me in a bunny ice skating
    costume at the age of 5.
  • Thus is life! ?
