Bells are very monastic. They call us to prayer and remind us throughout the day what the purpose of our life is--to become aware of God's presence among us and around us and to praise God throughout the day.
Since our recent renovation, we have had a bell tower added to our property. Now, not only are the daily hours announced, but also our neighbors are reminded throughout the day of our prayer schedule and other events in our community life. In a sense, we are proclaiming our presence daily in the heart of Tulsa.
Sr. Catherine, OSB
