Learning about Fr. Graham's fate was such a sad shock. We met many years ago when we were both younger but it still feels like yesterday. I remember him being so easy to talk to, and when I see the number of lives this fine man touched, I am humbled in realizing that he had this gift with every single person he interacted with. May God continue to bless all of you in his absence.

I prayed Vespers and had dinner with my fellow Norbertines tonight at Santa Maria de la Vid. They are great guys. One of them visited my Uncle when he was very ill at Presbyterian about a year ago. My uncle is better now. Thank you.

Such a beautiful community! The scenery was breathtaking. The ambiance was very peaceful and still. The lodging is very spacious and clean. The library on the grounds is filled with many spiritual books, and not just on Catholicism, but a few on other religions as well. I highly recommend attending morning and evening prayer with the community, it is a beautiful experience. Everyone you come into contact with is very kind and eager to help. There are trails marked out that allow you to explore the grounds without getting lost. I would definitely stay here again.

Such an amazing community! The scenery and architecture are beautiful, and it is a beautiful and peaceful location for relaxation, meditation, and retreat. The community is very welcoming, and the accommodations are great for stay as well. There are plenty of places for individual prayer and learning, and many opportunities for community worship.

The grounds are beautiful and so peaceful. We got to join them for morning and evening prayer, and they were so gracious and welcoming. The library on the grounds is full of great spiritual books, and the two adoration chapels are incredible! The lodging is also very nice and accommodating, and clean!

The Norbertine Community offers private and group spaces for a variety of needs, whether for meetings or overnight retreats. The setting in the desert is peaceful and awe-inspiring.

I don't remember the woman's name who helped my girlfriend and i, but she was just so incredibly kind and has just and incredible spirit. She treated us so wonderfully with a short tour of the library and the church as well as helping us get our bearings on the land. I have nothing but good to say, as you can feel the energy and warmth in every ounce of the property and being of those in this community. The library was serene, and took me aback with their selection of contemplative literature from all traditions, and the church brought me to tears being in its arches. My heart now has a beautiful and loving home here and I hope anyone who is fortunate enough to come across this slice of heaven decides to stop in and pray for a minute or two. I wish the best!
