Our Lady of Mercy Lay Carmelites

Community and Regional News — January 2020

  • February Community Gatherings. We will have two community gatherings in February. The first will be our regular community meeting on February 1. Sr. Libby Dahlstrom will be conducting her visitation at this meeting. Please Note: This is a Saturday and we will gather in the Governo House Library and Dining Room from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. This is a half hour earlier than usual. Please make every effort to be on time.
  • Lenten Gathering. The second meeting in February will be a Lenten Gathering of Lay Carmelites in San Francisco on Saturday, the 22ND from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. The theme for the day is Sharing the Journey. There is no charge for this meeting. Please fill out the REGISTRATION FORM and give it to Ann so she knows how many people will be attending.
  • Temporary and Final Professions At the Lenten gathering five of our members will be advancing in their Carmelite vocations. Please keep in your prayers: Lou who will be making her final profession, and Sheila, Zenaida, Marilou, and Dianne who will be making their temporary professions. I hope you can all be in San Francisco for this wonderful occasion. Congratulations to you on your upcoming professions!
  • No March Meeting. Because we will have two meetings in February, there will NOT be a meeting in March.
