Province News - Fall 2008


Minnesota

State Representative Joe Mullery recently asked Br. John Kerr, T.O.R. to offer the opening prayer at a session of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Most of you had the joy of meeting our two TOR brothers from Sri Lanka at the Province retreat this year.� Fr. Jude Perera and Fr. Gregory Silva began a new semester at St. John�s School of Theology in Collegeville, MN on August 26.� They have been such a delightful addition to the formation community that it was hard to see them go.� We correspond with them regularly and bring them home as often as their school schedule (and gas prices!) allow.� Both are enrolled full-time.� Jude, in addition to his core courses, has designed an independent study program on the Easter Vigil and will be meeting with a Latin tutor.� Gregory, whose concentration is scripture, has included Greek and Hebrew among his other classes.� This semester they are living in the monastery.� Drop them an encouraging word:
