In our community, a new set of appointments in a given period of time are assigned to the monks as our number changes.
Such appointments will stay and will only get to be changed (as if in public service' shuffling of posts) again when a monk lives for good or for his studies. take the case of what I got from the Abbot's email for this year's job in my community:
12/31/07
Dear Brother Lawrence,
Blessings to you!
Tomorrow I will make the assignments for 2008. This is your list:
- Cook
- Credit Cards for Gift Shop
- Gift Shop Assistant
- Mass Music - Distribute before Mass
- Web Site Assistant for Gift Shop
The only new thing is the responsibility of distributing Mass Music before Holy Mass begins.
Please do it immediately so that people have their music--especially me!
Thanks for your generosity!
I know that you will be going off to school in the fall at Saint Meinrad and so the assignments will have to change again.
Love and prayers for you.
Your brother in the Lord,
Abbot Philip
