The following day, after the visitation to Mount St. Benedict, the visitors travelled to the island of St. Lucia to conduct a canonical visitation for the first time at the Nuns' convent there. The community of the Sisters of the Abbey of Our Lady of the Assumption had formally requested incorporation into our congregation a few months earlier. The days between 13 and 17 December were filled with talks, communal prayer and reflection on the here and now of the Benedictine community.
