GENERAL CHAPTER PHOTOS

FROM OUR ROMAN CORRESPONDENTS

 

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 16, 2004 

  
     
  Fr. Ed de Leon, OMI, one of the translators at the chapter, sent us these pictures.  Among them are pictures of Oblates "at work" and "at rest."  The U.S. Oblates in Rome had a celebration in honor of the outgoing General Councilor for the former US Region, Fr. Tom Singer, OMI.   Some also attended a fiesta in honor of the September 16 Independence Day of Mexico.
