The Lantern House in Ogden has acknowledged the support of the monks of the Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity in Huntsvile with a large mural in the dining hall. The monks donated $400,000 to help re-build the former St. Ann's homeless center, a nonprofit organization run by an ecumenical group. Trappist Father Casimir Bernas, the retired abbot, visited the Lantern House on April 3 to accept thanks and recognition for the monks' donation. The April 7 Intermountain Catholic will have the story.
