June Letter from Vancourt
June 1, 2019
Dear friends and supporters of Vancourt,
As you have heard by now the 80 Lyncroft Road property, home to our women's activities in Westchester these last forty years, was listed for sale and an offer on the property has been accepted. Its closing is expected by the end of June. While we are sad to leave the property, home of so many good memories, we look forward to a more sustainable way to continue the activities of formation in Westchester and Connecticut.
At this moment, we are in need of volunteers to assist in helping to clear out the house. We are planning a tag sale for the weekend of June 14-15 that will benefit future activities in our area. We would appreciate any help that people can give with preparing and operating the tag sale and helping move out items. Please contact Linda Perrault at lindaperre2020@gmail.com or call (214) 263-7664 if you are able to assist us.
Meanwhile, the following activities already scheduled for June are continuing without interruption:
Wednesday Girls Club: Wednesday, June 5 (last meeting for this school year)
Camp Sycamore: June 24-28
We will no longer host the Tuesday morning or evening recollection at Vancourt. The Connecticut recollections on the third Thursday of the month will be held as usual:
· St. Aloysius Church, New Canaan, CT, June 20, 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (Confessions begin at 9:30 am)
· St. Joseph’s, New Haven, CT, Thursday, June 20, 5:30 - 7:45 p.m. (Confessions begin at 5:15 pm)
For information on recollections in NY and NJ, please go aldertonhouse.org/recollections
Recollections in Westchester will resume in September at a local parish. We will let you know soon the location and times.
While our current activities will take place at various locations, we continue to depend on your donations to support these activities and their new locations. We will update you on the progress of this transition. Kindly note our new P.O. box for all correspondence and donations during this time: Vancourt, P.O. Box 1905, New York, NY 10156-1905. As always, we count on your prayers and generosity.
We look forward to seeing you at the celebration of St. Josemaria’s feast day on Wednesday, June 26, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan! Confessions will be heard starting at 6:15 p.m. We will be united to those of you celebrating the feast of St. Josemaria at Masses in Albany and Rochester as well.
And last but not least, we are asking all the Cooperators to help us second Pope Francis’ challenge to encourage the young to discern their own path of service and joy: take a few minutes to explore the summer activities offered through the Centers of Opus Dei in this country and consider which family could enroll their daughters in one of the camps or service projects. Options are available at aldertonhouse.org/summer-camps
With prayers and gratitude as always for your support,
Vancourt Inc. Board
