5 /5 Warren White: I am so grateful to play a small part in the building improvements of Saint Katherines Monastery.
With the blessing of Father John, the priest who serves at The Joy Of All Who Sorrow in Marina Del Rey, Mother Katherine has invited my 11 year old daughter Isabelle and myself there now going on our third visit.
Mother Katherine leads early morning and early evening prayer services and encourages others to participate which is such a blessing.
It’s difficult at times standing there doing our best to focus while others are praying. But when we are invited to pray aloud as well, it adds to the experience and for me it becomes more heart felt.
Mother Katherine has a kind smile and a big heart.
It does not matter if Mother Katherine is talking with a vip or perhaps a very simple visitor, she has a gift of making everyone feel special and important.
I believe God is using Mother Katherine who works tirelessly to improve the monastery itself as well as the women and sometimes men who come there to help, pray, rest or need to unburden themselves with the cares and worries in their lives.
I have always left being blessed by being around the other visitors and people who stay there. They have all in their own way made it a special place for Isabelle and myself to visit.
The surroundings are beautiful. The clean air, grassy hills ,streams and now an amazing chapel.
