1. Has Father Daniel Mary established a future direction for the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming?
What is his vision for the monastery? What is his vision for Mystic Monk Coffee? What is the
mission of the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming?
Father Daniel Mary did in fact establish a future direction for the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming.
Daniel Mary’s vision was to create a new Mount Carmel in the Rocky Mountains. In his vision
he wanted to transform the small brotherhood of 13 monks living in a small home which was
used as a makeshift rectory into a 500 acre monastery. The purpose of his vision and mission,
was generally to expand. He wanted to make accommodations for 30 monks, a gothic church, a
convent for Carmelite nuns, and a retreat center for lay visitors.
2. Does it appear that Father Daniel Mary has set definite objectives and performance targets
for achieving his vision?
Father Daniel Mary has not set a definite objective or performance targets for achieving his
vision. Father Daniel Mary had only demonstrated that he had a goal in obtaining funds to
purchase the $8.9 million Lake Irma Ranch. Mystic Monk Coffee business does not seem to
have any sort of long-term nor a short-term funding plan or charitable contributions for its
business.
3. What is Father Prior’s strategy for achieving his vision? What competitive advantage might
Mystic Monk Coffee’s strategy produce?
Father Daniel Mary's strategy for achieving his vision is solely based on the idea that, the
charitable contributions or funds to the monastery and profits from its MMC Coffee enterprise
will fund the purchase of the Irma Lake Ranch. Some of MMC's strategies are as follows. 1)
word of mouth among its value customers wh...

...made on MMC websites and 18 percent is net profit margin than there
would be a gain.
5.Does the strategy qualify as a winning strategy? Why or why not?
Mystic monk coffee's business strategy does in fact qualify as a winning strategy. It is evident
if you look at MMC's average monthly sales which are $56,500 and its average profit margin is
11 percent. This suggest that the strategy produced have good results financially. As mentioned
earlier in question 3, The target market is large For MMC due to monastic relationships, which
allows MMC to rake in huge profit margins from focusing on the 69 million members of the
catholic church in the united states. However in my opinion the lack of production is holding
them back, If MMC produces more coffee, then their profit will increase even more since they
have a competitive edge and a strong target market.
Young Mary headed into the Residential School full of faith and ambition to devote herself to God’s true beliefs. She taught the Native children religion and music in class, which they all seemed to greatly enjoy. Although, it did not make up for all
Rayber and Mason both try to teach Francis but they do not want to teach him the same things. “It soon becomes clear that not only Rayber’s efforts at ‘reconstruction’ but also Mason’s muddied baptismal waters threaten the freedom of Francis, who weakly perceives the devil prophet within them both” (Paulman 103).
Boniface Wimmer is regarded as one of the greatest missionaries of the nineteenth century. His mission was to establish a Benedictine monastery abroad in the United States to help the thousands of Catholic Germans who fled from their homeland in search of a better life. “Today, there are over thirty Abbeys and monasteries that take their root from Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B.” With the grace of God, Boniface Wimmer succeeded. He was considered to be a “man on a mission.” His tenacious attitude aided him in spreading the mission of the Benedictine Order across the Atlantic Ocean. The Benedictines were seen not only as missionaries, but also as teachers and priests. The strong sense of bonding and connection within the community was vital to the Benedictine Order then, as it still is today.

Why Henry VIII Closed the Monasteries There were 800 monks and nuns in 1500s they had strict rules, The rule of St. Benedict for monks of the Benedictine order was prayer should take place eight times a day, all monks should sleep in separate beds, all monks must rise quickly when signal is given to attend the services and all monks must not grumble about the colour or rough material of their clothes. The rule of St. Augustine for the monks of the Augustine order was love god and your neighbour and monks should spend their time when not praying, coping books, looking after the poor and old, nursing the sick and crippled, teaching children and looking after travellers. Between 1536 and 1539 Henry V111 and Cromwell decided to close the monasteries because the monks are not flowing rules and take all the wealth to defend the country. In order to complete this essay I am going to explain below in detail why the monasteries were closed by Henry V111 between 1536 and 1539

Aaron Gilfoyle didn’t know it yet, but he would be walking into the one and only classroom out of his short-lived high school career where he wasn’t being taught by a devout catholic. It was one of the only issues of being hired by Our Lady of Justice, as they felt that I was lacking on the spiritual side. Father Gerald, a robust individual, stated frankly, “Here at Our Lady of Justice, we pride ourselves on our all-catholic teaching staff, and would like to maintain that tradition of dedication.” Unfortunately for the Round Father, I like to think of myself as more of a “to each their own” spiritual leader, but my job depended on the fact that I was brought up in a catholic home and was educated in the catholic system. I needed a job, and perhaps God saw that the Catholics at this school needed to take their heads o...
Starbucks is the world’s largest coffee roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world. We have enjoyed great dividend returns over the past 5 years, and our growth has been on the rise. We are currently saturating the US market, while the emerging markets of developing countries offer many possibilities for growth and increased revenues. In our US market we should look at offering more items on the menu that complement our long-standing tradition of pleasing our customers. Exotic Juices, and snacks served with the same service could add a nice margin to the bottom line. In addition, the ability to offer a drive through service for the consumer that loves fine coffee but does not have the time to stop and visit should be on our “trial” market plan for the next few years.
