........Oblates
of western New York gathered on September 4th for a traditional
end-of-summer cookout. This year the event was hosted by Oblates
at Annunciation parish. It was an opportunity for everyone to re-group
after the close of the vacation months, to welcome new members (including
the 6 young men in the Pre-Novitiate Candidacy Program), and to
get a close-up look at the facilities of this parish for which the
Oblates just recently assumed pastoral leadership. Visiting from
Brazil was Fr. Dave O'Brien, OMI - ironically, the home in which
he was reared is located directly across the street from the Annunciation
parish rectory. We all waved in salutation at the current occupants!
The fare was hot dogs and hamburgers with all the fixins' and the
Franciscan Sisters from the Nazareth Nursing Home with whom we have
had a long association, brought a variety of deserts to supplement
an already rich board of pies and ice cream. A fitting way to usher
in the Fall season.
