Winter Works

Concreting in the dark  
Enthroning of Mary in Our Lady's Garden

Concreting in the dark is winter work on Papa Stronsay. Br Yousef Marie, C.SS.R. here takes the lead.

The new floors and layout of “Our Lady’s Gardens” were built and blessed.
Mary Immaculate was enthroned therein.



monk's cells
A special “tank track” digger made short work of the future area for our cell gardens.
This machine and an 8 tonne concrete truck were a boon to the monastery this winter.

Even after the discovery of the wheel there are places it simply cannot go!
Brothers lift barrow loads of concrete into the sanctuary area of the Holy Sepulchre Oratory.
