My November meeting with the Vicar General in Tulsa was delightful. He is a prayerful man and enthusiastic for religious life. I presented him with a full dossier and 19 letters of recommendation because he asked for a “big stack.” His homework was to review my documents, and to study the new procedures laid down by the Vatican for the process of a diocese to assist new congregations. Evidently I passed the first test with Bishop Konderla’s “gatekeeper” because he is planning to present my “case” to the Bishop in early 2023. Pray!
