Friends,
I recently came across this YouTube video, and want to post it here for a number of reasons.
First, St. Mawgan Convent is in danger of being converted into secular use. As you can gleam from the video, the sisters and priests at the Convent want to preserve its beauty for its intended and Catholic use. It looks like the only way to send donations is via postal mail. I am posting this here so that anyone who is interested can send in a donation.
Second, the chant of (what I presume to be) the St. Mawgan Convent sisters is beautifully angelic. The picture along with the chant are just great, and again remind me of the shared patrimony of the Byzantine and Roman Rites.

P.S. It's curious to me that they're sisters instead of nuns. They look pretty cloistered? Does "cloistered" only count when you're actually behind a screen?
