Dear List, I am responsible for visitor services at the St. Norbert Arts & Cultural Centre, a contemporary art centre located on the outskirts of Winnipeg. Our centre is housed in the remains of a Trappist monastery. It is our understanding that these monastic ruins are, in fact, the only ones in all of North America. Does anyone know if this claim is/is not true. In other words, does anyone on the list know of any monastic ruins on the continent? I look forward to hearing from you all. Sincerely, Adrian Wortley -- Adrian Wortley (Visitor Services) St. Norbert Arts & Cultural Centre
