What's happening at the Mount

As a community, we were very blessed when all our Sisters in Dooley Center received the COVID 19 vaccine. With what was left of the vaccine, the rest of us were given the opportunity to receive the vaccine. It is now our privilege to celebrate the Eucharist together with them for the first time in over a year. Although we cannot yet have outside guests, we would like to share a video of our Holy Thursday Eucharist. We will live stream Mass for Easter Sunday and the six Sundays after Easter on Facebook. We welcome you to join us.
