Pre-Matushki Society's trip to St. Nilus - 10/23/09
On Friday, October 23, three seminary women and five girls went out for a three-day retreat to St. Nilus Island, a woman's skete located about 20 minutes from Kodiak. The four resident monastics treated us to a refreshing weekend of worship, work, and hospitality as we attended daily services, picked mushrooms, chopped wood, and enjoyed fellowship and delicious meals in the trapeza. As we left, they made us promise to come back soon --- a promise we will happily keep!
