Our November meeting will be held on Sunday, November 18, at 2:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph Room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center. PLEASE NOTE: November 18 is the 3rd Sunday of the month rather than the 4th.

Our guest speaker for the November meeting is Fr. Mateo Zamora, OSB.

We would like to express our thanks to Linda McCarroll for the sharing her journey to becoming a Benedictine Oblate of Saint Meinrad with us last month. You will find a copy of her testimony enclosed. Great job, Linda!

The December 14-16 Benedictine Oblate Retreat at Saint Meinrad features Fr. Denis Robinson, OSB. The topic of the retreat is: “Being Benedictine in a World Turned Upside Down: Looking at the World Today through the Lens of the Rule.” The cost of the retreat with meals is $255 (single) and $425 (double). For reservations, please call 1-800-581-6905.

As we will not meet in December due to December oblate retreat at Saint Meinrad, we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, a Blessed Christmas, and a Joyous New Year.

The January meeting will be held January 27, 2019.

Before closing, I have some sad news to share. I just learned of the death of Debbie Storer, one of our Cincinnati oblates, who recently passed away. Debbie has been ill for a number of years and has been unable to attend our Chapter meetings. She made her oblation on September 26, 2010. Please remember her in your prayers,
