July

Date: - Friday, July 10 CANCELLED - NOTE !!! OUR REGULAR MEETING FORMAT IS CHANGED FOR THIS MEETING !!!!
Please consider attending one, some or all three of the following conferences in lieu of the meeting
All are at 9:00 -10:30 AM at Saint Theresa Church, 265 Stafford Rd, Tiverton, RI

The Dominican Friars from the Province of St Joseph ( Eastern portion of the USA ) will offer this three part series of conferences in our vicinity.
Each one will be independent of the others ; thereby, allowing you to attend one , two, or all three without needing to be concerned if you miss a session.
Each conference will last an hour and a half with a QandA session included.
This conference series is being offered throughout the Providence Diocese this summer.
We are truly blessed that they have chosen Tiverton as the one location in the East Bay as all others are in areas closer to Providence.
