Dear Tau Community and Friends,
As many of you know, the memorial bricks from the courtyard at Tau House on Gov. Nicholls Street were transferred to the Poor Clare Monastery at 720 Henry Clay Street in New Orleans. We are going to rededicate the garden at the monastery in memory of Sr. Ann Roddy SSND on April 27th, 2014. That's the first Sunday after Easter.
We'll start with a prayer service at 12:00 noon in the monastery's chapel. We'll follow with a picnic lunch in the garden where the bricks are. I've confirmed all this with Sr. Charlene, Abbess at the monastery. The sisters will join us for both the prayer and the picnic. Please feel free to invite others who may have known of Tau House or Sr. Ann. A plaque is being prepared that has Ann's picture on it and states the Tau Community's mission statement. In the middle of the garden, under a huge oak tree, there is a statue of St. Roch and his dog, The plaque will be placed on the pedestal below. We know Ann was more of a cat person but this is the best we can do!

The picnic is potluck. We need to provide extra food for the 8 Poor Clare sisters who will join us. If you invite others either ask them to bring something or prepare extra yourself. The convent will provide tables and chairs for us. If you bring a crock pot we can keep it plugged in while we're at prayer but in the garden we may not be able to do that. They have an ice chest for cold drinks. It would be best if you let me know what you'd like to bring and I can coordinate it all.
So that we have adequate chairs and tables, RSVP to me at edwardswm2@aol.com by the Wednesday before, April 23rd if you will be attending. We will provide the paper plates et al. You should bring a serving spoon if your potluck item needs such.
Bro. Ed Arambasich OFM will be with us to lead us in prayer, in remembering Annie, and in general merriment.
