IMPORTANT: Please remember that we now gather at 12:30. And please try to get there a little early so we can begin on time.

Mothers’ Home Mornings Apostolate

Our next visit will be next Saturday the 15th. Please plan on meeting there at 9:00 am sharp. We should be done by Noon. Mothers’ Home is right next to BVM Church in Darby and some of our members found it convenient to attend 8:15 am Mass there before digging into work.

We will have a signup sheet at our March gathering so we can call ahead to let them know how many people to expect. Please let Lee know if you have any questions.

Communion Breakfast

Don’t forget, May will be our annual communion breakfast. Details to follow in the newsletter and at the April Meeting.

Formation Information

Okay, a change in plans regarding our earlier change in plans. We will cover in March the material we were going to cover during our cancelled February gathering. We will be discussing some broad ideas related to the SFO Rule in order to created a framework for our upcoming discussions of each rule individually on a month-by-month basis. If you didn’t receive the reading assignments at the January gathering, and have not been able to download them from the website, please let Lee know and he’ll try to get them in the mail to you in time for the gathering.

We will not be listening to and discussing a talk from the CD as mentioned in the February newsletter.
