New England Tour

 

The New England Tour will be our first mobile program with St. Paul's Fellowship of Labor. We are sponsoring a co-ed trip to monasteries, convents, and sketes within the New England Region. This means, we will be mobile to move from one community to the next throughout the week. Please join us in a road trip around New England. We will offer participants a crash course in candle making, landscaping, painting, and more.  Discussions and fellowship are easy to find in this sanctuary filled with cookies, pies, and the warmth of the nuns who dwell therein.  Be prepared for work days at The Holy Transfiguration Monastery, The Holy Nativity Convent, and The Skete of the Holy Ascension; evenings at local parishes; and walking tours of Boston.
