LPC at the priory; new officers

In today's gospel, the Lord tells us not to fear the world, to shout from the rooftops what we have heard from Him, fearing not the world, but our Father only. This is the spirit which St. Dominic lived apostolicly, and which his lay brethren have assisted for since 1250. This work is passed on and this weekend, at the level of the Lay Provincial Council, it was placed into good hands, hands and hearts, like St. Dominic, that live and breath with our Lord Jesus Christ.



This is the choir in the chapel at St. Albert's Priory where we held our meetings; actually, the meetings were in the classroom of the School of Applied Theology, which is part of Union Theological Seminary but is not associated with the priory, they rent space. The chapel is lovely!



Thanks be to God.



This shows about half the chapter representatives in the choir Sat evening for installation of the new officers and promoters:
