January 11 (Monday): ROAD TRIP: St Joseph Abbey / Annadele’s Plantation $50.00 per Person Depart from Ochsner Plaza II: 8:00 am Return Time: 4:00 pm In December 1889, a small group of monks from Saint Meinrad Abbey in Indiana repeated the ancient process of establishing a monastery, "a school for the Lord's service," in southern Louisiana. We will enjoy tours of the Abbey Church and monks' refectory, which were designated in 2007 in the National Register of Historic Places properties. In 1946, Abbot Columban Thuis commissioned the Benedictine artist Dom Gregory de Wit to execute a series of original murals in these buildings. The Dutch monk lived and worked at the abbey for 10 years as he painted the murals with mixtures that could withstand the humid climate. The magnificent results on the walls and ceilings have remained well-preserved and drawn lavish praise from critics and visitors alike. We will benefit from the serene environment the monastic community has established. A $5.00 cash fee will be collected on the bus for the Abbey. ***See the back for your lunch menu selection and please be prepared to give your selection when calling to RSVP for the trip.
