The monastery, a dependent priory of the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem CT, is a place of recollection and prayer.

Silver Jubilee of Mother Ozanne Schumann
2025 is the Silver Jubilee Year of Mother Ozanne Schumann, celebrating 25 years of vowed life. At Mass on August 22nd, the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, Mother renewed her Profession of Vows to God through the Community. Mother Abbess Lucia had proposed this Marian feast in her desire that the jubilee be celebrated in relation to a strong feminine holding of Our Lady. When Mother Ozanne came to Our Lady of the Rock from the Abbey of Regina Laudis in 2023, Mother Abbess perceived that the many gifts in which Mother excelled at the Abbey would find fullness of expression in relation to the feminine of the land and community of Our Lady of the Rock.
I feel strongly that Mother Ozanne's Jubilee needs be under the protection and auspices of Our Lady, Queen of heaven, Queen of creation.—Mother Abbess Lucia
