•  In January the novices visited Carthage in Tunisia where  St. Augustine studied.  Below are some pictures taken from the trip.

• Special Mass in honor of St. Leopold in America

St. Leopold - the first Austrian saint
 

On Saturday February 14th at 10:00 in St. Clare's Catholic Church, 12409 Henderson Rd, Clifton, Virginia, a special Votive Mass in honor of St. Leopold will be offered to give thank to God for all the good He is doing in our lives and to ask for His blessings on our canonical vocations and on those who have supported us through their prayers and sacrifices as well as to ask for Him to send us more vocations. 

We hope that all the friends of Stift Klosterneuburg in America -- that of course means anyone, who is reading this! -- will be there to pray with us, give thanks to God and ask for His blessing.

Fr. Markus Eidsvig, Novice Master and Director of Clerics, and Fr. Elias Carr will be there to offer the Mass with you. 

Afterwards a light reception will follow, whereupon we shall have a chance to enjoy one another's company.

You will be able to get directions from your house to St. Clare's through this link!
