Council Reports given at the April 2009, San Francisco Senatus (Archived News Notes) |
1) Oregon Comitium: Officer attendance was 100%, Praesidia Officer 69%. The Junior Praesidium had its Acies in March, as well as Comitium Acies, and both ceremonies were beautiful and well attended. There were no Praesidia reports during this period. Other activities include a Patrician Group, and the Journey of St. Paul. The Comitium hopes to start a new Praesidium in Central Point, and another in Cave Junction, and do more extension in Spring. 3) Salinas Curia: Fr. James Ryan, Spiritual Director of the Curia and 3 Praesidia, has passed away, and members attended his wake and funeral. The Bishop has appointed Deacon Br. Bill Reichmuth in Fr. Ryan's place. His wife was the former secretary of the Salinas Curia, killed in an accident, while on her way to a Curia meeting. The Curia had its Acies in March, attended by more than 100 people. Since most of the attached seven Praesidia are low in membership, the Curia is considering Columban Drives. (Sr. Virginia Fabi, Senatus Correspondent) 4) South San Mateo Curia: There are thirteen Praesidia, which includes Spanish, Portuguese, Junior, and a Seminary Praesidium. There were five Praesidia reports during this reporting period. Their works include Door to Door, Pro Life work, a Patrician group, visitation of the sick, and Book Barrows. The Annual General Reunion was held in December, and the Acies in March, attended by 180 Legionaries. The Curia asks for your prayers, so that they may continue to participate in the San Mateo Fair in August, at which they have given away thousands of Rosaries over many past years. The organizers are considering limiting the event to commercial vendors only. (Sr. Mary Peterson, Correspondent) 5) San Jose Comitium: There are 17 attached Praesidia, of which two are juniors, and three Curiae, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Works include all of the Evangelization categories, such as Door to Door, Apostolate, Book-barrow, and homebound visitation. The Annual General Reunion was held, with emphasis on inviting the auxiliaries, and the Acies held in March. An officers workshop was conducted, and activities planned to promote the Legion, and the junior Praesidium. The Patrician group continues successfully, and an Apostolate of the Crowd is held monthly. Other activities include an April Rosary Crusade, and planning a Spanish Praesidium.
