Of course, there will be E inconveniences and everybody has their favorite times for their particular reasons N (including your pastor). O The fall-out from the pandemic has negatively impacted us in so many ways. V Let’s not allow this to be a negative experience. Hope and pray, dear people, that A once the strife is o’er we might return to our regular schedule. T nd I This new 8 AM Sunday Mass will take effect on the 2 of August, and will O remain in effect thru the pandemic’s end. N F ~~~~~~~~~~ U N MISSALETTES ARE AVAILABLE – When entering Church, remember to take a Missalette to use during Mass D (they are located along the sides of the Church), then take it home with you. This will be your copy to bring back to Mass each week. When the date has expired, simply bring your book back to Church, put it in the boxes (located in the ~ entrances of Church) so they can be disposed of properly. The new books will be available the week of August 15/16. ~ We will use this procedure until the danger of the pandemic has passed… ~ Also, if you know someone who can’t make it to Mass, please take them a Missalette, so they will be able to follow ~ along with the Mass on TV.

Name: SAMUEL GRAYSON LEE JENNINGS Date of Degree: DECEMBER 2016 Title of Study: OKLAHOMA CATHOLICISM: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF FRENCH MONASTIC FOUNDATIONS Major Field: HISTORY Abstract: Oklahoma Catholicism: the Contributions of French Monastic Foundations focuses on the transmission of French monastic culture to the United States. After suffering the closure of monasteries during the French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic Era, the Benedictines enjoyed a renaissance during the reign of King Louis- Phillipe that extended through the twentieth century. One of the primary animating features of the resurgent Benedictines was an enthusiasm for establishing new monasteries around the world in cultures very different from their own. Of these new monasteries, two opened in what is now Oklahoma: Sacred Heart Abbey and Clear Creek Abbey. How did two French monasteries end up in Oklahoma while there were no other such monasteries in the United States? In both cases, Oklahoma attracted the missionary- monks with a unique combination of a hospitable culture, a disenfranchised minority population to minister to, cheap land, and anonymity from local ecclesial authority.
