January 2014 Newsletter

Our January meeting will be held on Sunday, January 26 in the parish center at St. Gertrude in Madeira. The agenda and program information may be found below. The Minutes of the November meeting are enclosed.

Jo Ann Moeller called me recently and asked me to extend her greetings to the oblates. Jo Ann, as most of you will remember, is an older oblate from Walton, Kentucky. As she is unable to drive, she depended on riding to the meetings with Bob and Melinda Reckers before they moved to Texas. Jo Ann said she is praying for the oblates, especially at the times we are meeting. And, speaking of Melinda, she emailed to wish everyone a Happy New Year. She and Bob are now the proud grandparents of three!

Fr. Meinrad Brune sent an email reminding the chapters that, in accord with the policy of Fr. Abbot Justin, a Mass will be offered for each deceased oblate and the monastery will cover the stipend for this Mass.


Congratulations to Paula Yerke who made her oblation at our November 2013 meeting, and to Mary Louise & Peyton Reed who were invested by Fr. Meinrad as oblate novices. They are welcome additions to our chapter!
