They were discouraged and also realized that they needed to become more proficient in English if they were to cope. After 15 days the trio of youngsters left and went to Montreal. It would take another year before a more permanent community of Oblates arrived &#8211; and from then on, the Oblates were to remain in Buffalo until today.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>REFLECTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>\u201cSuccess is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.\u201d (Winston Churchill.)<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordination of Brother Richard Moloney in my chapel.
