here for more info. Unfortunately, there have been some
organization issues and meetings have not started for Fall 2004.
UPDATE (17 Sept): A new message from Father Santo
(8 Sept.) brings hope. Here's an excerpt:
As you may know, there are no
Redemptorists currently living at Clement House at 8106 Jasper Ave, where we
usually gathered for Liguori Circle in Edmonton. Other arrangements are
currently being investigated for location, and group leadership, and we hope to
gather as a group once again in mid- late October, so keep posted!
In trying to build the leadership base for Liguori Circle, we need to hear from
you. Liguori Circle will operate understand the leadership of a planning team
that will rotate the faciliation of each gathering. There will be Redemptorists
present at these gatherings, but planning will be done through the rotation of
planning teams. If you are interested in participating in these planning teams,
I would ask that you email me over this next week to express your interest. I
will then let some of the core planners know of your interest and they will let
you know more details...
