Porterdale School Classes
Visited Rockdale Monastery
A trip to the Trappist Mona
stery in Rockdale County Friday,
February 3, was an appropriate
climax to ‘.he study of life in the
Middle Ages for ihe sixth grades
of Porterdale School.
We were met at the gate
house by two of the monks. One
escorted the boys through the
monastery and another took the
girls on a tour. The girls were
shown, by means of colored sli
des, the parts of the monastery
they were not allowed to visit.
A group of 20 monks came to
Rockdale County in 1944 and
lived in a cow barn until they
could build. They now number
65 with the greatest number co
ming from our own country. Some
however, came from European
countries and one from South
Africa.
The most beautiful building
there is the chapel, which was
viewed from the balcony. Four
teen of the monks worked on it
for a period of eight years to
complete it. We were impressed

with the massive Gothic arches
of concrete representing hands
folded in prayer, and the beaut
iful stained glass windows. The
three bells in the tower cost
$25,000 and were a gift from one
of the monk’s parents. The
largest one weighs 2900 pounds.
A helicopter from Fort Benning
was engaged to put them in place.
These bells call the monks to
worship seven times a day. They
go to bed at 7:00 P.M. and get
up at 2:00 A.M.
Since the monks have no radio,
television, or newspapers, they
spend a lot of time in their lib
rary which consists of 20,000
books.
The dormitory where they
sleep consists of small rooms
each with one window and a plat
form with a straw mat for a bed.
By choice, the dormitory is un
heated.
A trip through the flower house
revealed many unusual plants -
large climbing red poinsettia and
a white one; a lemon tree with
THE COVINGTON NEWS
lemons larger than most oran
ges; dozens of species of rare
cacti, and many, many others.
It is necessary for the mona
stery to be self-supporting. To
help do this, they have a large
herd of dairy cattle, 14,000 chick
ens and a bakery. They sell
their products to gorcery chains
in Atlanta and surrounding terr
itory. The monks are vegeter
ians. They never eat meat or
eggs. They are allowed eggs if
sick.
Sixty-three pupils enjoyed the
trip with their teachers, Miss
Martha Ramsey and Mrs. Bryant
Steele. We came away impres
sed with how much had been
accomplished in developing this
2000-acre tract in the short span
of 23 years by a handful of men
who have devoted their lives to
serving God. We may not under
stand them, but we can’t help but
respect them for their sincerity
and hard labor in keeping their
faith.
A new all-steel ladder for
emergency exit from two-story
buildings has been developed.
Made of aircraft cables and steel
rungs, it can be rolled up and
stored in a small space until
needed.
