March 2013 Newsletter

What a fantastic meeting we had last month!  We were especially blessed to welcome Sr. Mary Tewes and the oblates of St.Walburga Monastery in Covington, Kentucky as our special guests and to learn about St. Walburga and their oblate program.  The St. Walburga oblates have invited our Cincinnati oblates to join them at their Annual Ice Cream Social on Saturday, June 22, 2013 from 2-4 p.m. for Bingo and ice cream.  See the enclosed flyer for more information. 


 We were also privileged to celebrate John Campbell’s 88th birthday.  John, better known to many Cincinnati oblates as Bro. Patrick, has been an oblate of Saint Meinrad since 1943—an amazing 70 years! Congratulations, John!



In addition, we welcomed a new member, Scott Alt, who was invested by Fr. Meinrad as an oblate novice.  Scott is shown below with Fr. Meinrad. It is a joy to have you with us, Scott. Our prayers are with you as you discern your vocation as an oblate of Saint Meinrad. 



REMINDER:  March 31 is a Feast of St. Benedict and oblates have an opportunity to earn a Plenary Indulgence by fulfilling the following conditions:  1) Confession, 2) Receiving Holy Communion, and 3) Praying for the intentions of the Holy Father.  In addition, oblates should renew, at least privately, their promise to faithfully observe the promise of their way of life.
