In 2015, it was discovered that the southernmost pillar on the front portico had rotted through and is in danger of collapsing. A campaign was created in 2016 to raise the necessary funds to replace the pillar.
Through the generosity of our benefactors, enough funds were raised to replace the pillar, paint all four pillars and the porch above, restoring the front entrance of the monastery to its stately appearance.
Please take a moment to watch the video below to see the installation of the new pillar.
