Sacred Stones, Sacred Stories

The new entrance is beginning to get some company – walkways and driveways!

Crews worked on concrete-related projects this week, laying forms for the new driveway and installing the walkway to the new entrance.

Eagle-eyed readers will also spot something else we’re really exited about….

Yes! They’re back! The medallions that once graced the west side entrance porch of our monastery. How wonderful it is to see them in their new home, in a prominent place of welcome for all our future guests!

Oh, we’re excited to see the latest renderings of the new entry to our Clyde monastery!

This is how the main entry will look:

This is how the wing on the east side will appear (point of view from the west):

And this is how the end of the west wing will appear now that the Marian Wing has been removed (point of view from the south):

It has been so important to us to maintain the historical integrity of the main house. By recycling many of the stones and other features of the deconstructed areas, we will be able to match the unaltered parts of the building to make the complete project look seamless. We are very grateful to our architectural and construction staff for helping make that possible.
