Diane,
Will the session at Canandaigua be affiliated with St Benedict’s Parish or with the Congregational Church and why is there no room for us in Dougherty Hall or in a classroom as before at St Mary’s when we had Father Daniel leading it??
It seemed so pleasant carrying our spiritual up lift right from Communion in the Church and directly into the Hall!
Raymond, I would be happy to discuss with you off line in more detail, but tomorrow we are beginning a CATHOLIC bible study. There was not space available for us at St. Mary’s, so rather than delay restarting traditional bible study any further, we are simply obtaining space across the street at the Congregational Church. The people there have been extraordinarily kind and accommodating, and I’m grateful for their trust and assistance. But it is not a Congregational bible study any more than renting a room at Wegmans would make it a Wegmans bible study. Please do come, It’s right after the 9AM Mass, and a very short walk. Please email me if you have more questions about it. Thanks.
