Works

Here are some photos of some of the works we did a few days ago.


Br. Yousef Marie, F.SS.R. painting the statue of Saint Joseph.


We decided to put up another statue in the shrine on our pier. Fr. Anthony Mary, F.SS.R. brings the statue to the pier.


Br. Nicodemus Mary, F.SS.R. and Br. Martin Mary, F.SS.R. crack open the crate.


The statue is very heavy and difficult to move into place...




Fr. Anthony at the controls of the JCB.




With great care the strap is romoved and the statue pulled back into place.


May Christ the King ever reign on Papa Stronsay!

What a beautiful statue!

Glory be to Thee, O Jesus,
Supreme over all secular authorities;
And glory be to the Father and
The loving Spirit through endless ages.

So lovely! Where do you find these statues?? They must cost a fortune! Hopefully the Orkney winter weather will not destroy the gold paint.

I loved the photo with the arms coming out of the statue hole hahaha!

I keep praying that a big Sacred Heart of Jesus statue will fall from the sky and land in our garden. (Without squashing anything important.)

Your monastery is stunning - I can't believe what you all have done there on that wee island! Do keep posting PICTURES!!

God bless!

Dear Catholic Soul, We have just concluded our General Chapter where we considered our Congregation and its vocation in the Church and in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand where the Bishop had decreed its expulsion. The attached letter expresses the convictions of our Congregation. This is not a task we embrace lightly. We have considered the array of possible punishments that the hierarchy may use against us - all mentally terrifying really, yet buttressed in the knowledge that the hierarchy has broken with the chain of command, which renders it human, and spiritually null. But when Our Lord’s honour is at stake, silence becomes a form of betrayal. We therefore take up this work with trembling hearts but with firm conviction, desiring only to defend the Holy Name of Jesus Christ and the purity of His Spouse, the Church. “ Every one therefore that shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father Who is in Heaven. But he that shall deny Me before men, I will ...
