A
Different Kind of Meeting
This past Saturday, we
had a regularly scheduled Oblate meeting at the
monastery, but in a different way. Since March,
because of concerns related to the Coronavirus there
was a suspension of regular meetings. The
“gathering” we had this weekend was a virtual one
through the use of several computers and phones
equipped with cameras – a mode of communication that
has become quite common these days in workplaces and
social groups. Although this is only a temporary
solution, it was a good “breath of fresh air” for the
monks and Oblates to finally see and interact with one
another. Sixteen Oblates and two monks
participated in the meeting and the feedback afterward
was positive. The meeting in July will finally
be in-person to celebrate the Feast of St.
Benedict. For more information about our Oblate
