Change in format for Monthly Meeting

The Rosaryville Chapter of Lay Dominicans have reevaluated their monthly meeting.
We are now beginning a study program at our monthly meetings steering away from just a social group meeting to a more spiritual attitude.
The group is now on their second session of studying the pamphelts regarding the Four Pillars of the Dominicans.  The members are really excited about the study program and have participated tremendously. 
Also the Chapter members are participating in volunteering to do a reflection on the Gospel for the Litrgury of the Hours at the monthly meeting.  along with that a member has volunteered to hold the discussion session at the monthly study session.
Our members are very good at volunteering to participate in our monthly meeting.
Please pray for our continued success in our endevour to bring back the spirituality to our Chapter
