Oblate Newsletters of Sister Colette Westrick, OSB, 1987-1988
Scope and Contents
Oblates are attached to a particular monastery. They may live near the monastery or at a distance; they may be in regular contact with the Sisters and other Oblates or they may have little contact. The Oblate Directos used the Newsletter as one way to connect with all of the Oblates. These Newsletters are one resource that shows the evolution of the Oblate Program over time. This collection has 40 years of Oblate Newsletters that the Directors wrote to the Oblates. They communicate news from Oblate meetings, prayer requests, instruction in monastic life, updates on what is happening at the monastery and other sites where Sisters live. They also discuss how the Oblate Program will work.
