Fr. Emmerich Vogt, O.P.

We want to thank everyone for the prayers for our retreat. It was a wonderful week of prayer and practical spiritual instruction by our dear friend, Fr. Emmerich Vogt, O.P. He has a wonderful online resource if you are interested in learning more about Father.

Our community became familiar with Fr. Emmerich in the late 90's when we came across some tapes of his talks. (Yes, I'm dating myself by talking about 'tapes'! Smile, Smile) Since then we have had the good fortune of having Father visit our Monastery in Alabama about once a year. This was his first time to visit us here in Arizona! Hopefully the first of many visits!

Lent is the time - par excellence - for retreat and intensified prayer, fasting, and almsgiving! We hope and pray that this Lent will be a time of spiritual renewal of all of us.

What does Phase One consist of?

1.) COMPLETE THE SITE PREP: pulling the electric, digging the well, building the well house, the grading, and the foundation for the Chapel.

2.) BUILD THE CHAPEL: Through the generosity of Mrs. Connie Vitale, we have the funds for the construction of the Chapel buildingl!

3.) BUILD TWO MODULAR HOMES ON SITE: Through past experience we know the importance of being on site during construction. Therefore, once these houses are built, all the Sisters will relocate to Tonopah. One house will serve as our living quarters, while the other house will serve as a place of retreat for priests. Once the monastery is completed, both houses will remain as permanent structures on the grounds - serving as retreat houses for priests and laity.
