IRL National Meeting 2014 – YouTube Video Links

Leave a comment

exformAnother wonderful IRL National Meeting has come and gone with hundreds of attendees from many, many communities. Franciscans, Norbertines, Dominicans, Carmelites, Hermits, Consecrated Virgins, Consecrated Lay People, Diocesan Priests, Deacons, many other communities, lay people etc. were there in blue, brown, black, white, maroon or grey habits or in civilian clothes as the case may be. People came from California, Florida, Boston, Canada and points in between. Some of the friars were barefoot. One elderly priest made the trip as he always does by greyhound bus and the local train. Some came with no money and relied as they always do on the kindness of strangers to get them safely to their destination.

As one first-time attendee put it: It was God’s creative wisdom fully on display. It was also a foreshadowing of heaven when God will gather all the faithful together in His heavenly embrace.

For those of you who missed attending, all the the talks that took place in the Chapel at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary were recorded. You can click on the link below to watch any of these talks.

Leave a comment

m delores osbDolores Hart was a rising starlet in the 1960s, with a Broadway play and ten highly successful movies to her credit. Then, she made a shocking decision: Hart left the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and entered the contemplative Benedictine monastery of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, CT.

Now, 50 years later, Mother Dolores Hart, O.S.B., will be speak on her vocational journey and the spiritual wisdom she gained by becoming a consecrated spouse of Christ on April 25-27, 2014, during the Institute on Religious Life’s National Meeting, at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois. Registration is required to attend the three-day event.

Mother Dolores will give three talks at the IRL’s National Meeting. On Friday, April 25, she will address only religious, priests and consecrated persons at 11:00 a.m. On Saturday, April 26 at 1:30 p.m. she will be speaking exclusively to young people, ages 15-25, candidly sharing the story of her vocation. In the evening, Mother will give an after dinner address to those attending the IRL banquet which will honor Msgr. James C. Turro, recipient of the 2014 Pro Fidelitate et Virtute award.

Saint Luke Productions’ latest live drama, Faustina: Messenger of Divine Mercy, will be performed as part of the weekend’s events. The meeting will feature many other fine speakers including Very Rev. David Wilton, C.P.M, Dr. Timothy O’Donnell, Sheila Liaugminas and Mother M. Julie Saegaert, S.C.M.C.

All are invited to be part of this special weekend, co-sponsored by Ignatius Press, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Institute on Religious Life. You can read Mother’s story in a book published by Ignatius Press: Ear of the Heart: An Actress’ Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows.
