Pilgrimage 2021: A note from the X.O. of the CSRG’s II. Dept. for Logistics

TO: members the II. Dept. – Logistics Company of St. René Goupîl

Dear Friend of St. René,

Thanks for signing up.

I’m a veteran of the Company, and look forward to serving pilgrims again with you, for the glory of God and our ever-deepening conversion to him — apart from whom we can do nothing. (Jn. xv, 5)

1. E-mail Fr. Favole, CSRG Chaplain, no later than three days after signing-up

2. After that, contact your R.O. [responsible officer] — within three days of e-mailing Fr. Favole (as above).

• a. That’s Lucy Zignego, 262/224-2251, if you are serving in the Camps-Team.
• b. That’s Joe Grab 570/534-3855, if you are serving with the Port-a-Potties-Team.
• c. That’s Vince Vercillo 484/781-9441, if you are serving in the Communications-Team.

3. Tell your R.O. (listed above) that you’ve signed-up with the CSRG, registered (or pre-registered) for the Pilgrimage, and are ready to be briefed – a fancy way of saying, “What should I expect next?”, and “Let’s make some plans & get to work.”

Father Favole and I are counting on you & fellow-CSRGers to follow each step (above), one at a time, on time & in sync. I realize you may be tempted to take steps in the order you choose. I therefore beg the charity of your cooperation please to follow the tried & true steps of the past two decades of blessed pilgrimage — remembering that “nobody makes pilgrimage alone”.

When you do, you also stand to be pleasantly surprised at the outcome.

Godspeed!

(Jack is the 1st Assistant to the still-unfound substitute to our X.O. this season. Please suggest substitutes for Michael Ehinger, who cannot direct the Company this season, but does still intend to return — though in reduced role(s) — in September.)

To the Romans among us especially, here’s wishing you a blessed feast of the virile Apostles of Rome, Blessed Ss. Peter & Paul.

Please let your R.O.  or Dept. Head know that you have listened to the meditation.

A little prayer goes a long way

It really is short — though somewhat bitter in its sweetness.

Pilgrimage Chaplain Canon Andreas Hellmann is asking all

Your Father wishes to pray with you

Your spiritual Father, that is.

Father James Doran, Chaplain of

St. René and the 14th rule of St. Ignatius

In this one-page .doc file, the Company’s spiritual Father, Rev. James Doran OMV, presents a very short meditation of St. René Goupil and St. Ignatius’ 14th rule — about the wiles of the evil one.

All the members of the Company are asked to download the .doc file, to read it attentively, and to join Father Doran in prayer at the end of the reading.

Download the file St Rene and St. Ignatius’ 14th rule – a short essay by Fr Doran prepared 9-11-2012.

(Father hopes eventually to read the document into an audio file.)

A short meditation on St. René as a Jesuit/pilgrim donné

In this second audio file, the Company’s spiritual Father, Rev. James Doran OMV, presents a very short (7 minute) meditation of St. René Goupil considered in his position and work as a Jesuit donné — as compared and contrasted to the “engagés” who also served the Jesuit missioners.

All the members of the Company are asked to download the .wma file, to listen attentively, and to join Father Doran in prayer at the end of the meditation.

A short biography of our blessed patron

In this first audio file, the Company’s spiritual Father, Rev. James Doran OMV, reads a very short (10 minute) biography of St. Rene Goupil written by a Jesuit historian.
