News on Mt. Calvary Retreat Center

A commenter to an earlier post asked what could be done to help this monastery be rebuilt. It's too early to tell, but an article at the Diocesan website suggests that they intend to rebuild. The losses, especially in art and books goes into the millions.

The good news is that everyone connected to the monastery are safe -- and apparently taking refuge at St. Mary's Retreat House, which is behind the Santa Barbara Mission.

Here is a link to the article on the diocesan website.
