In September,
the feast of the Exultation of the Cross is an important celebration in
Benedictine monasteries. This year, it coincided with the arrival
of Fr. James Kelly's book, "Why Christ". He had completed
the book a few days before his death on Easter Sunday. We detect
his experience as chaplain in colleges. The book deals with a
young man who becomes wise over the years and can teach younger people
how to live the gospel message. The book is sold at the Shop for
$13.90 Click here for details.
In the middle of the month , the New York City
oblates came here for a week-end retreat and planted trees near
St.Joseph's guest house in memory of Rogers Reinicke who was in charge
of the group for many years. The picture shows the group during the
blessing of the trees.
Fr. Martin spent a few days in New York City for some rest after two
months of extra priestly duties while Br. James Cronen was recuperating
from his knee surgery. On September 21, the development committee
met to assess our financial conditon and to provide some pertinent
suggestions. On the 24th, we received Russell Baldwin as
postulant. In spite of many rainy days, we have a large apple
crop that employs many hands to pick and sort many varieties.
