BENEDICTINE MISSIONARY SISTERS: 90th ANNIVERSARY

Today, on Sunday, September 22, the Benedictine Missionary Sisters here at Norfolk celebrated 90 years of being in Nebraska.  We had a beautiful celebration with Mass at 10:30 AM with Father Prior Mauritius, from Christ the King Priory, at Schuyler as celebrant.  After my 9:30 AM Mass at the nursing home I came back to the monastery and concelebrated the Mass.  We had a deacon here from Omaha and many guests.  The Mass was followed by a dinner for the Sisters and guests.

Earlier this week, on Thursday, I went to Winnebago, NE for a visit to the Indian Reservation there.  Fathers David Korth and Father Dan Wittrock are both stationed there to take care of their spiritual needs.  Father Korth was gone but I had a nice visit with Father Wittrock.  The Benedictine Sisters from here have worked there since 1957.

The weather has been more like fall lately.  Yesterday it started off in the morning with a low of about 45.  Today was warmer again but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
