The Sisters welcomed Mother Dolores of Seoul, South Korea to the monastery for several days in September. Mother Dolores had attended the Communio Internationalis Benedictinarum meeting in Cuernovaca, Mexico and stopped by for a visit in Cullman before returning to South Korea. The Sisters greatly enjoyed her presence and her stories of her life and her Benedictine community. Mother Dolores gifted the community with some spicy Korean treats before she departed.
