DC Community Celebrates Jubilees
     
  The Oblate Community at 391 in D.C. held a special jubilee celebration on the evening of May 7, 2003.  Below are some pictures from the event celebrating 65 years of priesthood for Charlie Gilles; 60 years of religious vows for Jack Leddy; and 50 years of religious vows for Charles Hurkes.  Another member of the community, Dave Ullrich, was away at meetings so could not be there to celebrate 40 years of religious vows.
