Dear Brothers

  

We sent a video this week to all directors of Province-sponsored ministries regarding the Sponsorship program, and I wanted you to see what is being sent to our partners in ministry. Special thanks to Diane Guerra for the very fine work on this production.

I've also linked a statement from our recent Provincial Chapter, endorsing this new initiative. The Chapter has offered several important comments to keep in mind as this program is implemented.

With prayers for all of you as we live the final days of our Lenten journey with Christ.

 


From Fr. Bill Meyer 

 

 

Dear Brothers:

 

As we prepare to celebrate the holiest of all the weeks in Christendom, entering into the celebration of the Triduum of the Great Pascha, I offer you the promise of my prayers for your personal intentions. 

Below is a link to a beautiful meditation by the late Franciscan Sr. Thea Bowman on "How to Celebrate Holy Week."  

 

 

 

"Let Him easter in us,

Be a dayspring to the dimness of us,

Be a crimson-cresseted east!" 

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Dear Brothers:

  

Read the most recent newsletter from the National Religious Retirement Office. 

 

The theme for this edition is wellness. Bro. Bob Metzger, SM (our own) recommends we read the article on page seven to learn about changes to Engaging Aging and to obtain a link to sample wellness policies from several religious institutes, provided on their website
