From Fr. Marty Solma

   

Dear Brothers:

  

On behalf of the Provincial Council, I wish each of you a blessed and joyous Easter.  

 

May this Easter be a time of grace for all of us.

 

       


Let Him easter in us,
be a dayspring to the dimness of us, 

be a crimson-cresseted east. 

      Gerard Manley Hopkins

 


Fraternally,

Personnel

The Provincial Council has assigned Mark to the Stonemill-Kiefaber community. Congratulations to Mark on his acceptance into the program. Mark will move to Dayton over the summer.

 

Allen Pacquing will profess first vows on Saturday, May 23, in Dayton. His ministry assignment for the coming year will be at Chaminade University of Honolulu, serving on the Campus Ministry team.

From Fr. Bill Meyer

  

My Dear Brothers: 

A new morning . . . 


Starting over. Beginning again.

 

A new school year.

A new baseball season.

New seeds are planted.

New jobs begun.

 

 

Starting over. Beginning again.

 

Every morning you wake up and, by God, you're still alive. You have another chance to start over. Perhaps when you put your head on the pillow the night before, you still carried in your body and soul the burdens of the day just completed: things left undone, bad things said, good things left unsaid, and lots of things left in abeyance. In the morning all is possibility, all is opportunity, all is good and all is God. READ MORE >>>

Dear Brothers: 

Sponsorship Agreement 

 

In my report to the Provincial Chapter, I mentioned that the sponsorship agreement with our schools had been revised through a consultative process coordinated by Dan Donnelly, director of the Office of Sponsorship. Dan worked with several groups: members of the Office of Sponsorship, heads of schools, the Sponsorship Commission and the Provincial Council to produce the "Sponsorship & Services Agreement." Read the document and "Frequently Asked Questions" about the document. Many thanks to Dan and other members of the Office of Sponsorship for their work on this.  

 

This summer the Office of Sponsorship will host a meeting for Mission Integration Teams from our sponsored ministries. Look for information on that meeting later this summer. And please keep the work of the Office of Sponsorship and the Sponsorship Commission in your prayers.

   

Fraternally,
