Dearest Friends,
We have Happy News!
On October 6th, 2024, Magnolia Grove Monastery will have the great joy of welcoming two new baby novices: Tam Hai Minh/Krystee (from Houston) and Nga (from Atlanta).
We will also have the great honor of welcoming a new monastic Dharma Teacher to our Dharma Teacher family: Sister Chan Dinh Nghiem, who ordained in 2009 and is currently working in the office here at Magnolia Grove Monastery.
We cordially invite you to join us for our special day. We hope you can arrange to come join us for these special events!
With Love,
—your Happy Magnolia Grove Monastery Monastics
