October 2018 Newsletter

October 22, 2018 by Pat Dorn

The Sunday, October 28 meeting will be held, as usual, at 2:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph Room of the St. Gertrude Parish Center. Ron has been working hard on the agenda for the meeting and has many exciting ideas to discuss with the group so we hope to see you all there. In addition, Linda McCarroll has agreed to give a witness as to why she became a Benedictine Oblate, and I am sure you will not want to miss her testimony. I understand there was some confusion regarding the meeting dates on the September newsletter, so I have reprinted the dates below.

All of the meeting dates were correct as listed. The only change is the date of the Day of Recollection that will be held in Dayton on June 8 this year. Additional details regarding the Day of Recollection will be provided by the Dayton Chapter at a later date. We are very excited about the homework assigned to us by Br. Francis at the September meeting.

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a delightful and entertaining masterpiece of religious satire about temptation and resistance to it. I provided an Amazon link to the book in my October 6 email for your convience. However, I am sure you can find it at a neighborhood bookstore or at Half Prices Books as well. See you on the 28th!
