the_rev Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just curious if anyone is going to be at the Institute on Religious Life's conference April st-rd, I'm thinking about going down for the youth day. Since my mother has re-converted to the faith the possibility is there. It is at Mundelein in the Chicago, IL, area. Just cuirious if anyone else is going!

I want to go because the subject matter is excellant. <Sigh> I guess I have to settle for tapes and the magazine articles!!!. Maybe it is just vanity for me to return this year meeting. Last year I made the front cover of the Religious Life magazine that featured the conference last year. I asked a friend of mine who is a sister if I would increase my vocation prospects if they communities knew they were getting a "Cover Girl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]865824[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Dear Brendan, Yes, I am friends with Fr. Jerome and Br. Stephen who will be ordained. Small world Dear Rick777 the "genesee monks" are the Trappist monks of the Abbey of the Genesee in Piffard NY. If you are familiar with Monk Bread, these are the Trappists that make it. Here is a link to their abbey website [url="http://www.geneseeabbey.org/"]http://www.geneseeabbey.org/[/url] Anyone can stay for a weekend or a week long retreat at the guesthouse. I have been there twice now but this will be the first time I will be with them when there will be no snow!!! I spent Christmas there one year and on the Feast of Stephen (Boxing Day for me and others on the list) I was blessed to witness the final vows of Br. Stephen. Now God is gracious to allow me to be at his ordination. I am so excited. The best part of this deal is the good monks make delivery to the Domincian Nuns in Buffalo!!!! So maybe I might be able to see Br. Stephen if he is on a bread run. God is wonderful indeed : It is too bad I didn't know you folks at this time last year. We could have had Phatmass table at the banquet!!! Edited January 26, 2006 by passionheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
