The March meeting will be held on Sunday, March 25, at 2:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph Room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center. The program for this meeting we will be a continuation of the witness/reflections of our oblates with Kathy Gloeckner sharing how becoming a Benedictine Oblate has been helpful to her in her everyday and spiritual life.

A copy of the wonderful reflection given by Peyton Reed at the February meeting entitled Come for the Psalms, Stay for the Silence, is enclosed. Enjoy!

We want to express our thanks and appreciation to Susan Anderson for all the many times she has volunteered to take the minutes of our Chapter meetings in the past. Thank you, Susan, you have performed a wonderful service for our chapter! Thanks also to Mary Louise Reed for volunteering to replace Susan as our secretary.

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The is sponsored by the Columbus/Lancaster Chapter this year and will be held in Columbus on . Registration and program information will be provided as soon as it is available to us.

REMINDER: On Wednesday, March 21, we celebrate the first of two feast days honoring St. Benedict—The Passing of Blessed Father Benedict. (The second—Our Blessed Father Benedict—is celebrated on July 11.) Oblates have an opportunity to earn a Plenary Indulgence on these days 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.
