"I am pleased to announce that an organizational and planning meeting for the Society of St. John Chrysostom will meet on Saturday, October 6, 2007, beginning at 10:00 am at St. Stephen�s Armenian Apostolic Church at 38 Elton Avenue, Watertown, MA. The meeting will begin with an ecumenical prayer service to the Holy Spirit, and then move across the street to the Hellenic Cultural Center.

We will have video highlights from OLTVweb of Pope Benedict�s historic visit to Constantinople last November, with commentary, and a discussion about holding an Orientale Lumen Conference in Boston next year. I will also show highlights of past OL conferences for everyone to get a sense of what happens at them. The meeting will include lunch and conclude with the Akathist Prayer Service to the Mother of God.

ALL are invited to attend � clergy and lay persons � Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholics and Oriental Orthodox. With the recent pilgrimage of Catholics and Orthodox led by Cardinal O�Malley and Metropolitan Methodius, and the possibility of Pope Benedict visiting Boston next April, it seems fitting to organize a new chapter of the Society in Boston and possibly hold an OL Conference to coincide with the pope�s visit.

Please download the PDF flier about the meeting, and pass the word among your friends and colleagues � anyone interested in the unity of the Church of Christ � and join us in Boston on October 6."

FWIW, Cardinal O'Malley likes to go by his monastic name (Sean), so he styles himself and likes to be styled by others as "Cardinal Sean."
