I just have a couple of items to pass on to you this week.

It was a wonderful week, last week, that is, when 120 Friars of our province, including friars from Papua New Guinea, Puerto Rico, Rome, Kenya, Tanzania and India, came together at our Province Chapter, to vision and set goals for next three years and to elect a new Provincial (CEO) and four Councillors. In addition to the business and elections, great fraternal time was spent catching up with each other, sharing our lives and just having a good time together. Thank you for your prayers, the Chapter was a great success!

Items needed for certain liturgical celebrations. I do not have the cost of the items but will have that information in my column next week. Perhaps you might be interest in memorializing one of these:

• for a person(s) who have died, it would be In Memory of....
• for a person(s) who are living, it would be In Honor of....

Here are two items we need:
Humeral Veil which is used for Benediction and a Reliquary for the relic of St. Theresa of Calcutta.

I may have one or two more items.
