Living Stones Notes #1


Living Stones Notes #1


Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible. – St. Francis of Assisi.

At our August 29, 2020, meeting of the Council of the Glory of the Most High Fraternity, the suggestion was made that the Minister start sending regular e-mail updates to the Fraternity to keep members connected and up-to-date. This is a first attempt. The format will likely change and evolve. (Feedback is appreciated!)

We are gathering again!
The Council voted to hold our monthly Fraternity gatherings at the St. Padre Pio Chapel, while St. Theodore’s Church is not available. Our gatherings are normally the first Sunday of the month, but since September 6 is a holiday weekend, the Council voted to hold the first gathering this fall on September 13, from 1-3 p.m.

The next two gatherings will be October 4 and November 1.

We will easily be able to social distance. Masks are required in the chapel. 
Let us know if you’re coming September 13 so we will know how many tables to set up. .

The Council also voted to begin using  a new book for ongoing formation, Live Like Francis: Reflections on Franciscan Life in the World  by Jovian Weigel OFM and Leonard Foley OFM. Copies are begin ordered and some will be available.

Pax et bonum,

Lee
