MISSIONARY CENACLE FAMILY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER
FR. VINCENT FITZPATRICK’S PRESENTATION AND VIDEO
At the September meeting of the Family Council, Fr. Vincent Fitzpatrick gave a reflection on “How Father Judge Understood The Call Of the Laity.” The entire Council was touched and enlightened by Fr. Vincent’s presentation. Father’s reflection led to an insightful, hope filled and challenging faith sharing by the Family Council.
Father Vincent’s presentation was taped, and will be made available to the Cenacle Family. More information on this video coming soon!
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION - 2009
The Family Council continued discussions for the planning of the centennial celebration in 2009. The Core Planning Committee for the celebration will be in place this Spring, 2005, and this committee will use 2005 and 2006 as time to work and develop all that will be needed for the Centennial Celebration. We will keep The Cenacle Family up to date as the planning develops.
BLESSED TRINITY MISSIONARY INSTITUTE ELECTIONS
The BTMI will be having elections for Custodian General and Council this coming May, 2005. Present General Custodian Peggy Hayes is asking for prayer from the Cenacle Family now and through the election process. We remember Father Judge’s words as we pray for this and all Cenacle intentions: “Your prayer should not be narrow, personal prayer, it should reach to the throne of God only after having touched the farthest bounds of god’s creation and mourned in every human misery, and rejoiced in God’s goodness to us.”
