The Abbot's Notebook...

Abbot Philip, OSB, Christ in the Desert Monastery weekly post here.

The response to The Learning Channel Documentary on the Monastery has been overwhelming and very, very positive. Always our hope had been that this television program might present something very positive about our Catholic Church, that it might help people understand a bit more our Catholic faith and that it might draw people to think about the deepest values of life. That seems all to be happening and so we monks are very happy with the program. There is still one more segment to be shown this coming Sunday.
