Chapter meeting for January
Happy New Year!
You may be wondering where the chapter meetings for November and December went. Sadly, they ran afoul of Christmas, as so many things do.
Highever, we're back on track now, and looking forward to a saint-filled January that begins with St. Basil the Great. St. Basil's prayer in praise of creation, including our animal friends, is offered in our Prayer Room (link at right), and you can celebrate St. Basil's day with a nice St. Basil's basil pesto dish, now being served in our Refectory, with and without Italian sweet sausage.
If you're dieting on account of all those Christmas cookies, skip the Refectory and join in the "Let all that breathe Jehovah praise" singalong that can be found in our Hymnal (right).
Other saints of note in January include St. Dwynwyn, the "St. Valentine of Wales." Check out links to these saints at right.
The Feast of the Epiphany is coming up next week. Anglicans celebrate it Jan. 6, marking the end of the 12 Days of Christmas, which is about 11 days too long if you ask the Sisters. We'll be watching our favorite Epiphany flick here at the Motherhouse, "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray, whose sister is an actual nun.
Check out the movie and see if you can spot Murray's "epiphany moment" signaling the end of his Purgatory in Punxsatawney.
In other news, many of you are aware that despite the relatively low collective I.Q. of our congressional representatives, a new bill requires that companion animals be included in the provisions of all disaster plans funded with federal (aka YOUR) tax dollars. For more on the bill and how it can help cats and dogs, click on over to the Humane Society's Web site.
Finally, Sister Jean did a lot of reading over the Christmas break, and she promises to post a book report next month in the Lectionary.
