Oblates Evening
of Reflection
Third Tuesday of the Month
6:30-8:00 PM.
Facilitator: Fr. Albert Marflak, OSB
The Benedictine Oblates of St. Andrew
Abbey, Cleveland, is a
spiritual association of persons from all walks of life who seek to
enrich their Christian way of life. Oblates are inspired by Gospel
values as reflected in the Holy Rule and life of St. Benedict. If you
seek God to deepen your holiness and inner Peace through
Prayer and Lectio (praying the Sacred Scriptures), and
Work; if you desire the values of simplicity, hospitality and
reverence for all life then a spiritual union with the monks of St.
Andrew Abbey as an Oblate may be for you. A new program for Oblates will
be held on the third Tuesday of the month at Loyola Retreat House, from
6:30 to 8:00 PM. For information contact: Fr. Albert, OSB, at
