The Carthusians: On the Feast of Their Founder

As today is the feast of the founder of the Carthusians, St. Bruno, I thought some might be interested in revisiting a few of the posts and photos we have featured on the NLM over the past years on the Carthusian liturgy and life.

For others of course, these posts and the information contained therein may be new.
