Dear Brothers & Sisters in St. Dominic,
Given the declared pandemic of the COVID-19 virus, Archbishop Alexander K. Sample has issued directives & dispensations. His communication to the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon is here.
In response to the Archbishop’s directives the Council of Holy Rosary Chapter has unanimously decided that the prudent action for our chapter is to cancel the March 22nd, 2020 Dominican Laity Chapter meeting.
We pray that the effects of this illness will soon subside and that we will be able to meet as usual but in the meantime we will observe the directives recommended by our Archbishop Alexander Sample.
Our web page has Lenten News items that may enhance your Lenten reflections, messages from our Provincial Promoter, Augustine Hilander, O.P. and Denise Harvey, President of the Dominican Laity Provincial Council.
May the blessing of this Lenten Season bring us ever closer to our Risen Savior.
In the Love of Christ,
Cecelia
