The Greater Little Rock Camera Club came out in October to take some pictures around the monastery. The group led by Camella McCoy (or Angel as she is known) included Gabe Sisney and Neil Jones, who took this nice shot of our facade with the traditional bare cross. The cross found in each friar's cell has no "corpse"attached. The friar is reminded to place himself on the cross through self denial and mortification. In this way he can imitate his savior who died for him on the cross, by doing not His own will, but the will of his heavenly Father. Angel took this nice shot of our waterfall.

Marylake has been a photo magnet this year. Never have so many come out to take pictures. Dillards started the trend a couple years ago when they shipped in models from New York to pose around the property for their fall clothing line. Then there are always young women who want their bridal shot taken here. We even had a family recently who took their Christmas picture here. Gabe Sisney of the camera club took the shot of our monastery's north wall.
