2010 WSS Annual Board Meeting in Fort Wayne Indiana

We were blessed with a wonderful board meeting during the week of the 24th in May! Our week of fun, unity, and recharging in the Spirit included many events such as a tour of the University of Saint Francis where we held our conferences, a Knights of Columbus First Degree for the visiting priests, a benefactor appreciation barbeque, a tour of the city of Fort Wayne and Rome City Indiana, a blessing of the Mary statue donated by Worldwide Seminarian Support benefactor, and lastly a wonderful performance by theatrical extraordinaire Kevin Flinn from West Palm Beach in his dramatic one man show "St. John in Exile". At all of these events we had great attendence and support from our local donors. A big thank you to all benefactors that showed up in support, and made this great week possible! At all of these events funds were raised in support of our seminarians! Thank you again for all of the generous donations.

One of the events during our week of fun and festivities was the blessing of the Mary statue at St.Vincent dePaul Catholic parish.

The statue installation was an Eagle Scout project for troop 2 Scout Robert Becker. Featured in this picture (from left to right) is Fr.
