"Just a quick note to the list.
The United American Catholic Synod closed last Wednesday afternoon
and the Church is still talking about it! Bp. Senia gave her
workshop Tuesday and Wednesday and I have never seen my clergy and
seminarians with such a focused direction or determination and they
are still talking about it!
If you can get to one of Bp. Senia's workshops I highly recommend
it. She is such a wealth of knowledge and such a great person also.
The time we spent together was not only educationally and
spiritually excellent it was also fun.
The UACC hope to have her back next year as an honored guest of the
Synod!
Blessings to you all,

Testimony:
Dear Fr. Tim, and Bishop Senia:
I just wanted you folks to know that I have used some of the ideas that were shared with me by +Senia on the e-group. And, yes my friends they work! We're a small Mission Parish in St. Charles, Missouri. We started out with only 3 members, and now we have approx. 7 full time ones and 15 others on our roster. This happened in a very short time. I am working with the Hispanics that have NO Church. As Bishop Senia suggested, I went to the stores that they own, bought a few things, told them who I was and left cards. I followed up with names that they suggested, and walked the neighborhoods that they lived in. Did I forget to mention…I speak NO Spanish? But they can tell true Love and concern for them.
I wish to thank +Senia, whom I have known now for many years, for telling me about BHC and I wish to challenge all of you to try at least one of the ideas that are shared.
In Christ and Saint BENEDICT,
Fr. Paul Hostkoetter, Obl., OSB
