Secretary's report
Letter from Pat Darby
Provincial Secretary for the Central Jurisdiction
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we prepare to bid farewell to our outgoing councils, thanking them for their service, please join me in welcoming our new ones and praying that these next years will be ones of growth in our vocation and love for each other.
Let us ask God to send the Holy Spirit into our Province and bless us all with grace-filled elections. We ask this through the intercession of our Blessed Mother, Patroness of our Order.

I prefer to receive communications from you by email, as I check my computer every day and am in and out during the day; however, if you do not have a computer, please feel free to call me and if I'm not in, I'll return your call.
My Thanks to those Communities who sent in Membership Rosters. That is very helpful, so include it if you can.
And let us all remember to PRAY FOR VOCATIONS! Our Friars need more help!!
Let us pray for each other that we grow in, as our Holy Mother teaches, Humility, Detachment, and Charity!
Today is the Solemnity of Epiphany and so I will close with this prayer from the Word Among Us:
"Jesus just as the Wise Men did, I kneel before you, gazing on your glory in the Eucharist. May I become a tabernacle of your mercy, shining your light everywhere I go."
Happy New Year!
Your Sister in Carmel,
