Our Sunday, February 25 meeting will be held, as usual, in the St. Joseph Room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center beginning at 2:00 p.m.  Please feel free to bring a guest.  

The Agenda for this meeting is below.  The program for this meeting will be a witness/reflection given by Oblate Peyton Reed, followed by questions and discussion.  Also, you will be pleased to know that Fr. Joseph Cox emailed me that he will be attending our meeting on the 25!  It will be wonderful to see him again.

I have attached a copy of Steve Drees’ Witness/Reflection that was read by Mary Louise Reed at our January meeting for the benefit of those who were not present as well as for those of you who would like to reflect further on Steve’s experiences as an Oblate of Saint Meinrad.

Mark and Mandie Milliron will be invested as Oblate Novices during the March Oblate Retreat at Saint Meinrad held March 20-22.  If you have not yet made your reservations and would like to be there to welcome them to our Chapter, please do so soon before the rooms fill up.  

Ron DeMarco will be undergoing surgery on his shoulder on February 22. Please pray for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.  We will miss you at the meeting, Ron.
