The May issue of the Oblate Newsletter has been posted.
So everyone can properly plan travel, all regular meetings are cancelled until further notice. The Novice Oblates will be meeting, as this small group feels comfortable doing so but no meetings in May. The Novice Oblates will be notified by email and phone.
One item that the virus closures has made evident is that Oblates have not been keeping their contact information up to date. When you receive this newsletter please email Gail Warlick (gailwarlick@bac.edu) AND George Cobb (gkcobb0929@gmail.com) with your email address and phone number. Please email both since the Abbey office is not open yet. If you do not use email please send a letter to Gail Warlick, 100 Belmont-Mt. Holly Road, Belmont, NC 28012 and include the best phone number to reach you.
Along with the Ordo and Necrology you will also find:
- This Crisis Can Deepen Our Faith by Br. Mark Dohle, OCSO
- Detachment and Docility by Garcia M. Colombas
- Degrees of Humility by St. Bernard of Clairvaux
