CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL AND ANDREW!

Michael and Andrew were confirmed at St. Pius X by the Most Rev. Slattery on Thursday night! Congratulations!

I was in town with Linda to attend a job fair at Broken Arrow Public Schools and be at the Confirmation. I think the interview with Broken Arrow went well. I also had the chance to visit All Saints Catholic School. The kids were awesome as ever. I definitely missed them.

Brother Boniface T. Copelin, OSB soon to be FATHER Boniface!

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, arrives in the sacristy at Sant'Anselmo on Ash Wednesday. Br. Boniface is the second person from the right.

Br. Boniface will be ordained as Deacon of the Church on Sunday, April 20. With God's grace, he will be ordained to the priesthood at St. Gregory's Abbey on the afternoon of Thursday, August 21, the feast of Pope St. Pius X. Please keep Br. Boniface in your prayers.



Boniface was my room-mate when we went to St. Gregory's College and we graduated together in 1981 with our Associates degrees. Boniface went on to join the Abbey and entered the Religious Life as a Benedictine monk. God has blessed Boniface and he is currently studying Theology in Rome.

During this past Lent, he was honored to serve His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI and I have included pictures and a link to the story on the St. Gregory's Abbey website.
