Father John was released from Baptist Rehab yesterday, and came up to chapel for Mass this morning for the first time since his accident on October 11th. Here to welcome him home from the hospital were Luis Joaquin Castaneda from Oklahoma & Luis Gerardo Belmonte from San Antonio (los dos Luisitos) and Our Father Provincial, Gregory Ross from New Orleans. Father Marion Joseph Bui presided at the concelebrated Mass and congratulated John for "making it up the mountain" of the 21 steps to our chapel.
Monastery of Marylake
Marylake was founded in 1952. The monastery was built facing a lake by Masons in 1926 as a country club for Little Rock. Father Evarist named the place in honor of Jesus' mother. It is run by the Discalced Carmelite friars of the province of Oklahoma.
