Solemnity of St. John the Baptist

Here it is Sunday again. The weeks fly by. Today Bishop Raymond Boland, the retired bishop of this diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, is celebrating his 50th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Abbot Gregory went down to be present for this celebration.

For myself I am continuing to do well and continue to go to cardiac rehab at the Maryville hospital two or three times a week. I am back to normal life except for lifting. That takes some time to heal the chest bone they cut through to work on the heart. Even on days when I don't go to Maryville for rehab I try to spend twenty minutes or so on the treadmill.

This afternoon I spent some time scanning some older pictures of the Abbey and Basilica. You can find them at this web address: http://kennethosb.smugmug.com/gallery/3050112#17637606
Or if you go to my "smugmug" home page and then click on "Conception Abbey" you can also find them.

You who are oblates I again remind you that if you are planning to come for the "Pray and Work" weekend on July 6-8, be sure you send in your reservation soon. I look forward to seeing many of you here.
