God Is Here ... To Give Power And Strength To His People

With profound gratitude to the Almighty God, our monastery celebrates our Centennial Jubilee this year, and today, we joyfully celebrate the 68th Anniversary of the Consecration of our Chapel!

Being “consecrated”, our monastery chapel has transformed from being an ordinary gathering place for prayer into a holy temple, dedicated to the pure worship of God. The Lord indeed is present in this holy place to bless and “to give power and strength to His people.”

As we continue to preach God’s love, praise His Holy Name, and bless Him for all his benefits, we gratefully remember all our beloved Sisters who had gone before us, and all of you, our dear benefactors, families and friends who have helped us over the years with your loving support.

Here is our gift to you…a chant sung by our sisters. Please join us in singing praises to our Loving God…

Praise be to you, O Lord…

“For in this visible house that you have let us build and where you never cease to show favor to the family on pilgrimage to you in this place, you wonderfully manifest and accomplish the mystery of your communion with us…” -from the Preface of the Dedication of a Church.

Deo Gratias!
