General Definitor's visit

On Monday, April 12th, the General Definitor, Fr. John Grennan, flew in to make an informal visitation of our province. He flew from Rome to Newark where he went through customs, then caught a flight to Little Rock and actually came in almost an hour early. That’s something unheard of around these parts.

We had a nice visit with Father John. Here’s a picture of our little community with him. Father Marion Joseph is on the left, then Fr. John Michael, Father Grennan and Fr. John Magdalene on the right. Father John Magdalene made a vegetarian meal for Father Grennan. Father has been on a strict diet recently and brings his own blender. He has also been mending from knee surgery and had to cancel visitation of the California-Arizona province due to that.

The last picture was taken Wednesday morning the 14th as our Father Provincial, Gregory Ross [left] prepared to drive Father Greenan to our nuns in Jackson for lunch, and then onto our house in New Orleans. From there they will go to Covington, Lafayette, New Caney, San Antonio, Dallas and end up in Oklahoma City. After a meeting of Provincial Councils, Father will begin visiting the Washington province before returning to Rome.
