Dominican Chapter Meeting Sunday, September 18

Posted on by

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

  • Mass 11:15 am
  • Lunch Social: 12:00 PM
  • Business and discussion about 1:00  PM
  • Discussion: Matthew Chapter 10. Please read and be
    prepared to discuss how it is relevant to us as Dominican or how you see this
    scripture at work in your life. You may wish to supplment your reading with Aquinas’ CATENA AUREA on Matthew Chapter 10, which has commentary from the Church fathers. See it online at:http://www.catecheticsonline.com/CatenaAurea-Matthew10.php

Business Topic: It has been proposed that we increase the council size from 7 to 9 or more members. We will discuss this for no more than 15 minutes. This motion would require approval by chapter professed members. Details at meeting.

Reminders:

Members are expected to contact Prior Jean-Francois Orsini with regrets if you are unable to attend chapter meetings. His email is Jorsini1@earthlink.net.

Novices, be sure to contact the Novice master if you cannot make your class.

If you can, please bring a dish to share at the buffet.

Laity and the 4 Pillars Module

This Sunday, we will meet again at 10 a.m. at the Dominican House of Studies for the
inquirers’ class. Attached is the three-page module that we will be discussing
on the laity in the church and the four pillars of the Dominican Order.

After the inquirers’ meeting, we will attend the 11:15 a.m. Mass with the friars.
Then there will be a pot-luck lunch (bring a non-dessert to share, if you can,
or juice).

Shortly before 1 p.m, we will assemble for a business meeting to be followed by a
discussion, led by Steve Graves, on Matthew Chapter 10, which fits beautifully
into our morning discussion as it is the call to ministry of the Apostles.

If you have time, you may want to peruse Aquinas’ CATENA AUREA on Matthew Chapter 10, which has commentary from the Church fathers. See it online at:

After the chapter meeting, we will go to the chapel to chant Midday Prayer. Our
chaplain, Fr. John Baptist Ku, O.P., will be available for Confessions after
that.

If you haven’t already told me, let me know if you can come or not.

Yours in Our Lady of Sorrows,

Fran

P.S.

We have moved the inquirers’ class to St. Joseph’s Hall (where we have the
chapter meeting after Mass). The receptionist can direct you there.
