August/September 2008 Newsletter from Joe Stetzel, Minister, People of Peace Fraternity
Ongoing Formation
Thanks to the five volunteers who agreed to present formation topics through the rest of this year and the first meeting of 2009. Mel and/or Kay are going to lead us at the September 7th meeting. It will be Article 4, “Living the Gospel” pg 33-42. Please read those pages and join in on the discussion after the presentation.
People of Peace Scholarship
Bob Golobish, Sister Norma Rocklage, and Joe Stetzel met on July 30th to review the scholarship applications. Marian College students Jonathan Kiesler and Matthew Salsman were selected and have been invited to attend our September 7th meeting where they will be recognized.
Fraternity Retreat
Fraternity retreat was held on July 12th with 7 members from the People of Peace and five members from Blessed Sacrament enjoyed Sister Norma Rocklage’s presentation. Her gifted rendition of Saint Clare’s cousin was humorous and taught us many things about Clare’s life. It was a good reflective day for those present. Thank you Sister for sharing your gifts with us.
Unity Day
Bob Golobish, Sheila Gilbert, and Joe and Jan Stetzel attended Unity Day in Kokomo on August 7th. This is a gathering of all the fraternities in the North Central part of Indiana. We were treated to a wonderful presentation by Sister Agnes, OSF on Elizabeth of Hungary who is the patron of the Secular Franciscan Order. Besides meeting members from other fraternities we were able to participate in the remembrance of the deceased members in each fraternity. Dick Seger’s name was read during this ceremony. It was mentioned that all the deceased members will be further honored at the national meeting to be held later this year.
SFO Professions
Five candidates will be professed in October. More details to follow.
Holy Family Shelter
The shelter has an ongoing need for paper goods and size 5 or 6 diapers. Please remember to pick up some of these needed items and bring them to our monthly meeting. Our fraternity is responsible for serving the lunch on the first Saturday of each month at 1:00PM. The residents are very grateful for receiving this simple meal. Contact Bob Golobish, SFO at rwgolobish@marian.edu or work 955-6775 to help with this ministry.
