The April meeting will be held this coming Sunday, April 22, in the St. Joseph Room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center at 2:00 p.m. Have you done your homework? Br. Francis Wagner will return to collect on the assignment he gave us in September—watching the movie Gran Torino and discussing the questions he assigned relating to this movie. This meeting will be our last until September.
Kathy Goeckner gave a very moving testimony at the March meeting about her journey to becoming a Benedictine Oblate. A copy of her witness is attached.
Congratulations to Mark & Mandie Melron who made their investiture on March 24 at Saint Meinrad Archabbey! We look forward to celebrating with them on Sunday and hearing all about their experience at Saint Meinrad. We welcome them to our Chapter and look forward to accompanying them on their journey to oblation.
REMINDER: Please do not forget to send in your reservation for the Oblate Day
of Recollection in Columbus on Saturday, June 22. Fr. Joseph Cox is the presenter;
the topic of his talk is “Prayer: Our Conversation with God.” Reservations are due by May 15. A registration form was sent to you several weeks ago, but I have also attached it to this newsletter.
Last, but not least, please remember to bring your book donations for the Holy Cross Monastery in Beaumont, Texas to the meeting with you on Sunday. Bob & Melinda Reckers will pick them up at our house when they come to town in May.
