I keep insisting about gifts such as these for the Immaculate Conception. It does good for the soul. The above got my attention. There are endless things to notice about it.
Mushrooms are good…
- Thanks go to N.S., for a gift to the hermitage with the request that Holy Mass be offered for the ordination class of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Navrongo–Bolgatanga, Ghana (December 1). That is a privilege!
- Thanks go to D.W. for his gift and best wishes. Very much appreciated.
- Thanks go to D.Y. for his gift to the hermitage. Very generous indeed.
- Thanks go to C.C. from the Down Under. Yes, Western Union worked.
- Thanks go to J.T.B. for her gift to the hermitage. Very kind!
- Thanks go to E.D., who sent in a gift for the hermitage, and… and... three images of John Henry Cardinal Newman, each with prayers and a short life story, from the Catholic Truth Society. Very wonderful.






Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter.
