Dear Friends,
In just a few weeks we will be in the United States!
Preparations for our Pilgrimage of Trust in Chicago are about to enter into a new phase. We are grateful for all the messages and support we have received in the last months.
Here is some more news about the preparation of the Chicago gathering.
The video especially made for the preparation of the Chicago meeting is now available and can be seen online: http://vimeo.com/32939054
If you want to download the video onto a USB key or burn a DVD to use it in situations where you do have access to the internet, you will have to first register with Vimeo. It’s free. To register, go to http://vimeo.com/join , choose « Basic » and follow the instructions. Then go to http://vimeo.com/32939054. Look to the lower part of your screen on the right hand side, next to « MP4 », click on « Download » and follow the instructions.
PROGRAM: A provisional program is available online : http://www.taize.fr/en_article13465.html. A more detailed program will be available in May.
REGISTRATION : On February 1st, a link to an online registration form will be available on the Taizé website: www.taize.fr/chicago Registrations will close on April 30th.
COSTS : Participants will be asked to contribute between 50 to 60 US dollars for the weekend (that will include food and accommodation). We will make known the exact sum soon.
VISITS IN THE U.S. We hope to travel to parts of the U.S. and Canada over the coming months as part of the preparation for the meeting. We have already received a number of invitations, but feel free to contact us if you have any additional suggestions: chicago2012@taize.fr
Many people are excited about the Chicago gathering, including our communityat Taizé. Brother Alois, who is Brother Roger’s successor as prior of the community, will be present at the Chicago gathering. We invite you to read his new letter that was just recently published at the European Meeting in Berlin :http://www.taize.fr/IMG/pdf/120enletter.pdf Brother Alois writes that ” Today faith appears as a risk, the risk of trusting.”
We look forward to walking on that path with you.

Dear Friends,
We have some great news to share with you. A Taizé gathering will take place in Chicago in May 2012.
The venue will be DePaul University in Chicago and the dates are Memorial Day Weekend (25-28 May 2012).
We hope that young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 from all over the the United States and Canada will take part.
Starting next February, three Taizé brothers will be living in Chicago and coordinate preparations in the city and region. Among other things, we will be working with friends from Chicago to find accommodation with families for the young adults coming from outside the Chicago area.
Since we will be in the United States for a few months, we hope to travel to stimulate interest in the Chicago weekend. Please let us know if you have any ideas or suggestions or anything that you think might help to spread the word.
A detailed program will be available early next year. The plan is to come together much as we do at Taizé for prayer, reflection, workshops and fellowship, beginning Friday May 25th, early evening and finishing Monday 28th at around noon. Participants will be asked to share in the costs, which we plan on keeping low.
A DVD especially made for the preparation of the Chicago meeting will be available in November or early December. Get in touch with us if you would like a copy. We will also be making preparation material (poster, logo, video) available on our website www.taize.fr/chicago in the coming months.
As we write this letter in the middle of the busy summer weeks at Taizé (four thousand young adults are with us this week, including a group from Chicago), we remember all those who have been asking us for years now : « When will there be a Taizé event in the U.S ? » We hope that this announcement will bring you as much joy as it has caused us.
Brother John, Taize Brother Emile, Taize

P.S. You may not be in the age group for the Chicago weekend, but please pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested.

Wondrous prayer was shared in Memorial Chapel Friday night!
There was a great collection of young and old, Catholics and Protestants, people from near and far gathered for prayer Friday evening. Out of such diversity came deep open prayer and a profound presence of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Peter, Episcopal Chaplain, for your invitation to come and pray with the students at UMD. Thank you to the wonderful instrumentalists and petite choir. Your ministry brings beauty and joy to our prayer. And thank you to all who joined us. Together our prayer was strong and full!
Please mark you calendars for our next prayer gathering!
