Theology of the Body: Talk at SEMO University
Tuesday,September 22:
Sr. Helena Raphael came from our community in Chicago to speak on John Paul II's
"Theology of the Body." Her first talk was at the campus ministry center of Southeastern Missouri University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Emily and Sr. Rebecca went with her. They welcomed us very warmly, and close to thirty young people came to hear her speak. It was an excellent talk, and the young people were really interested and bought many books! We had a lot of fun talking with them after.

Tour of Meramec Caverns
Sunday,September 20:
The postulant community went to Meramec Caverns for free Sunday. Meramec Caverns are a group of four hundred million year old caverns about an hour west of St. Louis. We had a fascinating tour and saw many beautiful rock formations. There was beautiful clear water that reflected the cave ceiling, and even a statue of Jesse James! We took lots of pictures!

Visit from the Archbishop!
Wednesday,September 16:
Our new Archbishop, Robert Carlson, came to our house for supper! The whole community helped to prepare the table, the meal, and the dessert. We had a wonderful time with him. He is very nice and easy to talk to. He told us many stories about himself, and he was interested to hear about our mission and the bookcenter. We hope that he will come back!
September Seniors' Day
Tuesday,September 15:
More than twenty people came to our afternoon of reflection for seniors. Fr. Hinni gave a conference about prayer, and then Sr. Emi guided a time of Adoration (and Emily played the keyboard). Emily spoke to a nice lady who came into the bookcenter in the morning, heard about the Seniors' Day, and decided to stay for the afternoon! She and all the people enjoyed their time with us very much.
