PROVINCIAL CHAPTER
We concluded the Provincial Chapter session this past Monday. The presentations and discussions were intense and helpful. I am preparing a Chapter report and will send it to you in the near future. Thanks to the Province members who prayed for us during the Chapter. The area coordinators are planning post-Chapter meetings throughout the Province.
2015 ASSEMBLY
The Assembly Committee, with Fr. Oscar and Bro. Jesse as co-chairs, has been diligently at work with plans and arrangements for this important Province event in St. Louis. You already have the dates (June 25-29, 2015). Please mark your calendars as we hope for a good attendance.
GA VISIT
The General Administration will visit the Province this year, arriving in St. Louis on Sept. 15 and staying until the end of October. They will spend the month of November in Rome, returning to the Province from Dec. 1 - 22 to complete the visitation. When the preliminary itinerary is worked out, we will contact your community with available dates. The members of the GA will begin their visit in Hawai'i and travel across the Province.
PERSONNEL
Please keep Bro. Bernie Hartman in your prayers. The first stage of his case in Melbourne will begin on March 17. Bro. John Campbell is with him now while Bro. Dave Quigley visits his community in San Antonio.
NOVITIATE BUILDING
Demolition of the novitiate building will begin at the end of the month. More news and photos will be shared. Plans for the new structure are being finalized and construction will begin, hopefully, in the near future.
Wishing you a blessed Lent.
Fraternally,
We are pleased to announce that Robert Webb has been named the next president of Chaminade College Preparatory in West Hills, Calif., effective July 1, 2014.
