Book Club - Monday, June 22, The Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao
Xuequin. 7pm, Newman Hall.
THE ART NEAR THE TABERNACLE: With the beginning of summer and Ordinary Time and also in anticipation of Pope Francis upcoming
encyclical on the Environment, Alfonse Borysewicz 's large painting Emmaus
makes a return to the Oratory Church of St. Boniface. On the Road to Emmaus reminds us of the recognition of Jesus by his disciples in the breaking
of the bread, the first fellowship of community. Depicted on the Risen One
is gold leafed honeycomb, the great symbol of community, painted garland
replacing a crown of thorns, highlighting the victory over death and a real
wasps nests that directs our gaze upwards to the heavens. In all, a created
world our Saviour once shared, full of abundance and mystery which we are
all called to be good stewards.
Women's Group Forming - This fall St. Boniface is planning to launch a
new fellowship group for women in their 20s and 30s. The group will include spiritual, social, and service components. We are looking for 6 to 8
women to form a steering committee and help drive the group, from writing
its mission statement to planning monthly activities. The kickoff meeting for
the steering committee will be in mid-April, date TBD. If interested, please
email Jane DiLeo [email protected]
