Oblate Formation
by Idaho Monks
Monastery of the Ascension offers three ways that oblates can continue their
formation: courses for credit or non-credit through Benedictine Distance
Learning; three oblate retreats each year; and occasional study weeks on Benedictine
topics. For more information go to http://www.idahomonks.org/ and click on
either Benedictine Distance Learning or Oblates.

On behalf of the Cistercian
Sisters at Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey, (south of Dubuque, Iowa)
Trisha Day sent this information about several retreat opportunities that may
be of special interest to Benedictine Oblate Directors, especially those who
are looking for formation resources. The retreats feature the DVD series, THE
MONASTERY, a beautifully produced television documentary that was filmed at
Mississippi Abbey but never broadcast.
The sisters are
pleased to be able to invite Benedictine Oblates as well as Lay Cistercians and others
who are interested in monastic values and practices to attend one of
these retreats. For additional information contact the sisters
through their web site http://themonasteryretreats.org or you may
contact Trisha Day directly pmday@wisc.edu.

"Walking with Benedict: Hospitality."
"Gail Murphy, Director of Scripture Study at Benet Hill Monastery
has posted on her blog an invitation to the online course on Hospitality
with Scripture and the Rule of Benedict. This is a wonderful opportunity
for oblates, especially those who live at a distance from the monastery
to participate in the opportunities available at Benet Hill.
Having taken the in-house class last year from Gail, I can recommend
it whole heartedly.
