Our July meeting will be on the 12th of the month.

Since this is the first post in a while, let me add that we’re meeting in the church proper at St. Michaels Catholic Church in Bedford. Come to the side entrance; if the door is locked, just knock and we’ll open it.

We have been pleased to welcome Deacon Jim Rice to our recent fraternity meetings. Deacon Jim is considering joining the fraternity as a spiritual director, a position that has been open for quite a while.

Mike has been leading us in looking more closely at the San Damiano crucifix the past couple of months. It was from this crucifix in the small San Damiano chapel outside the walls of Assisi that St. Francis heard Christ’s voice charging him with “rebuild[ing] my church.” It is a beautiful Byzantine cross full of allegorical figures that has become a symbol of the Franciscan orders, and certainly worth studying.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me an email.
