Thursday afternoon, October 15 through Saturday, October 17, 2015

Personal obligations require my absence during Thursday afternoon until Saturday afternoon.  If necessary I can be reached at 253-564-6618.  

The Christmas-Card order for Conception Abbey cards will be sent on Monday, October 19 and the order form for Christmas postage stamps along with illustrations will be available in the Community Room at that time.  The first pages of the stamp presentation binder do not contain stamps for order but provide an illustrated history of the 50 plus years of holiday stamps.  

After we finish the current audio book, there follows the second book recommended by Sister Joyce Cox to the University Board of Trustees, Where is Knowing Going?  The subject matter is our faith and academic life in Catholic higher education. 

Hyacinth Johns and her family left Saint Martin's Abbey a gift of $1000.00 in appreciation for our hospitality.  It is her intention to visit at the cemetery in Auburn annually around October 8, Neil's birthday.  She also feels very much connected to Saint Martin's.
