A Letter from Our Pastoral
Coordinator
June 23, 2019
May Christ’s peace, joy and hope
be with you all!
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
This last weekend, from June 14-17, I traveled south to the Trappist Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Carlton, Oregon in the Northwest hilly region of the Willamette Valley (website: http://trappistabbey.org ) to make my annual private re-treat. I’ve been making retreats there by myself/with others or like this time with a friend for over 46 years. I enjoy the quiet and the complete change from my normal life. The hospitality of the monks provides enough comfort but very little interference so that a retreatant like me can do almost what he/she wants as far as retreat time goes.
The accommodations and meals are simple but certainly enough to provide the opportunity for silence, prayer and joining the rhythm of the 19 monks who live at the Abbey. One of the priest monks is a long-time friend of mine. He just celebrated his 50th year as a Trappist at Our Lady of Guadalupe and was originally born and raised in Tacoma. I usually get a chance to speak with him and he provided my co-retreatant friend and me a tour of the interior of their residence and their work areas. It was my friend’s first visit and tour. This includes the cloister, the book bindery, the bakery where they make fruit cake and other specialty baked items as well as their 80,000 sq. feet of warehouse space that stores wine from the surrounding smaller and ever- expanding wineries.
Trappists, like most monastics, pray 5 times per day. This community of brothers celebrate mass following morning prayer c. 6:50am daily. On Sundays, Mass is celebrated at 9:15am. Retreatants and anyone from the surrounding region are welcome to join with the monks as they pray the Liturgy of the Hours and celebrate Mass. On this Sunday, June 16th, the Abbey chapel was packed with congregants. So many came that they had to bring in folding chairs to accommodate the crowd.
The Abbey always welcomes guests though they can only accommodate a few at a time. They are usually booked 2-3 months in advance, but it is always good to call ahead.
In the hectic pace of our lives, it is always wise to take time daily for longer periods of prayer and quality time with Jesus one on one. If your schedule and time allows, I urge all of you to consider making a visit or even an overnight stay of a few days to Our Lady of Guadalupe Abbey. With fewer distractions, it’s indeed beneficial on occasion to have longer periods of time with Jesus to be even more grounded in our relationship with him as Catholics. These summer months are a perfect time to use for some “retreat” time even if it means staying at home, heading to a park, or the waterfront and being a little more intentional and protective of our time in personal prayer.
In God’s great love, hope and mercy,
Deacon Jim
