Publisher's Synopsis
""Pioneer Monks in Nova Scotia"" by Luke Schrepfer is a historical account of the Trappist monks who settled in Nova Scotia in the late 19th century. The book details the challenges faced by these pioneers as they established a monastic community in a new land, including adapting to a harsh climate, building their monastery from scratch, and cultivating the land to support themselves. Schrepfer also explores the spiritual journey of these monks, their daily routines, and their contributions to the local community. Through extensive research and interviews with descendants of the original monks, Schrepfer provides a fascinating and insightful look into the lives of these early pioneers and their enduring legacy in Nova Scotia.History Of The Monastery At Tracdie Founded By French Trappists In 1825 As Petit Clairvaux And Re-Opened In 1938 By The Augustian Fathers To Become St. Augustrine's.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
