Monday, July 28, I will be flying to Denver, CO and then driving up into the mountains about one and a half hours to St. Malo Retreat Center in Allenspark, CO. I will be attending the English Speaking Conference Formation Meeting. I did the same a couple of years ago and look forward to returning--both for the location and the meeting.

The gathering is for all of the friars who work in formation from all of the English Speaking provinces in the world. That means the Directors of Vocations, Postulancy, Novitiate, Temporary Professed and Ongoing Formation as well as the Provincial Prefects of Formation are invited. It is a good opportunity to meet with the men of other provinces and share ideas, concerns, etc. in the context of prayer and study. Sr. Ilia Delio, O.S.F. will be our main speaker for the week.

The pictures are from our meeting a couple of years ago. I hope to be able to post new ones during the week, but I'm not sure if I will be able.

Please remember all of us in your prayers as we travel and meet.
