Our next Oblate Day will take place on Saturday, November 15. Sr. Donald’s morning conference will be on oblate formation, and the afternoon conference on beauty as a way to God.
On Saturday, November 22, Sr. Donald will offer reflections on Thomas Merton and the spiritual journey: a celebration of his life and work, in honor of the 100th anniversary of his birth.
The schedule for both days will follow our usual format:
10:00: coffee and snack
10:30: conference, followed by discussion and/or quiet time
12:00: midday prayer and a home-cooked lunch
1:30: conference
The day of recollection ends officially at 2:30, but all are welcome to stay and join us for Vespers at 4:00 and the Vigil Mass of Sunday at 5:00.
Suggested donation: $25

Thank you…..I plan on attending both. I will bring a check with me.
Thank you, I plan on being there for both
Do I have to be an Oblate to come? Would love to come for the day, weather permitting.
Sr. Donald – Thank you for a thoughtfully prepared day with Thomas Merton as only you can do: with scholarly references and down-to-earth anecdotes that brought this great Trappist right into our midst. A special thanks as well to the entire community for their hospitality.
I’ve placed a short post on the Syracuse Deacons website: http://blog.deacons.us. Hopefully a few more will join your upcoming repeat of Saturday’s conference.
Blessings for an abundant Thanksgiving.
