iPadre #167 – St. Joseph’s Abbey

In this show, I take you with me on our final summer parish pilgrimage.  I do a sound seeing tour of St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, MA.  St. Joseph’s is a Trappist monastery, one of the largest communities in the United States.  They are known for their Trappist Preservers, vestments and incense.  Come join me as we see the beauty of God’s grace in the hills of Spencer.  I borrowed the picture for today’s episode from the Abbey’s blog, so please check it out!

  1. Oh Father Jay. This is one of my favourite places in the world. I grew up in Spencer, and we live near enough to visit often. We’ll be moving to Petersham, which is about 30 minutes on the other side of Spencer from where we are now. And Petersham has several monastic communities. maybe you’ll come for a visit next summer?
