Dear Brothers,
Gabrielle Bibeau has discerned that she will leave the Marianist Sisters and has received dispensation of her temporary vows. The Marianist Sisters are deeply grateful for all Gabby has contributed to the congregation and the Marianist Family over the past decade and offer prayerful support for her future journey. Gabby plans to continue as an active and committed member of the Marianist Family. She will also continue her work with NACMS in Dayton, Ohio.
Provincial Chapter Reports
Please remember to check the portal for the reports from the Provincial Council. Log in and navigate to the Provincial Chapter section located in the center of the fourth row. Please contact Bernadette Groner if you need assistance. I am aware that the different areas of the Province are using varied methods for our traditional pre-chapter meetings. Please be safe!
Join me in thanking the Marianist Center for Lay Formation, Bro. Stephen Glodek (director), Bro. Jack Ventura (assistant director) and Ms. Francine Cruz (administrative assistant) for tending to all the details organizing the virtual Foundation Day this past Saturday. After a short welcome and prayer, Bro. Jack and Ms. Marg Van Herk-Paradis, a Marianist affiliate from Stratford, Ontario, gave presentations for input for our small group discussions. It was a wonderful celebration with lay and professed Marianists present as we virtually shared a little French wine to toast the 221st anniversary.
If you were unable to view the celebration, please contact Bro. Jack Ventura and he will send you a copy.
