Blessed Trinity 28 years ago
Dear Community, Charlene sends the picture below from the birthday of Blessed Trinity, November 20, 1994. Thanks Charlene!
I'm sending you a picture of our community that was taken at our Canonical Establishment on November 20, 1994. And, yes, as you mentioned in your email, it was the Feast of Christ the King.
As you can see, our Community was much smaller then and everyone was present for the ceremony. I think the group was meeting for approximately 10 years before we were canonically established as a community. I was not there in the 80's. Maybe this information is available in the community files.
Front row left to right: Suzan Douglass, Reta Kelleher, Leona Babbitt, Rosie Wilson, Patricia Reyes, Mary (Margaret) Hill, Fr. Michael Buckley, OCD, Dorothy Goodwin, Charlene Whitaker, Grace Fitzpatrick and Mary Ellen Hill.
Back row left to right: Ginny Fabre, Gaylord Fabre, Jean Gibbon (with glasses), Anne Martindale, Fr. David Centner; OCD; Cindy Choo (partially hidden), Gladys Lizama, and Jerry Hill.
Fr. Michael Buckley, OCD, was our Provincial Delegate at the time. Fr. David Centner, OCD, was our temporary Spiritual Assistant while our Spiritual Assistant, Fr. Colm Stone, OCD, was on sabbatical in Spain.
Jean Gibbon was not a member of our community, but she attended in the early years to assist us as we were getting started.
Some of those in the picture are now deceased, some have moved out-of-state and some did not continue in Carmel. The only two who are still attending meetings are Patricia Reyes and myself. Many changes have taken place through the years.
