February 2014 Newsletter

Our February meeting will be held in the St. Joseph room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center at 2:00 p.m. next Sunday, February 23. Br. Peduru Fonseka, OSB, will be the special guest speaker for this meeting. His talk is entitled Universal Call to Holiness.

Br. Peduru will also invest Anne Spaeth as a Benedictine Oblate Novice and receive Scott Alt’s oblation as a Benedictine Oblate at the February meeting. We are pleased to welcome Anne to our chapter and we extend our congratulations to both Anne and Scott.
