Coming Soon:
Bendictine Colloquium 2000 Meets At WPS
Representatives and leaders of Benedictine schools throughout the United States, Mexico and England are meeting on August 2-6 on the Woodside Priory School campus.
The focus for the week will be formation of a faculty in a Benedictine school, said Brother Edward Englund, who is organizing the event. Participants will
hear national and international presenters, take part in round-table discussions, snack at "knowledge cafes," and share experiences at topical
breakout sessions.
The Colloquium began meeting in 1998 to give Benedictine
educational leaders the opportunity to explore options and share experiences. The issue of declining monastic population, which is
being faced by virtually all Catholic schools, was one of the initial topics of interest.
"Benedictine Schools Without Monastics" will be the topic of two presenters at this colloquium – Father Christopher Jamison
of Worth Abby in England and Father Gregory of St. Louis Abby in Missouri.
Guests will stay on the Woodside Priory campus and many members of the WPS community will be involved in
hosting them.
