Yesterday for the Feast of Our Holy Father St. Benedict, Archabbot Douglas and the monks invited us to join them for Mass and to witness the solemn profession of three of the monks: Brother Maximilian, Brother Jeremiah and Brother Michael. It was a wonderful liturgy and it is a great joy for us as well at the lifetime commitment made by these monks.
Several times during the year the monks who are in the Junioriate come out for days of recollection and then we share a meal together in the evening after Vespers. It is a pleasure for us to get to know them and be part of their early monastic journey.
Brother Max, Brother Jeremiah, and Brother Michael please be assured of our continued prayers for you, and thank you for saying "Yes!" to Christ's invitation to follow Him as a monk at St. Vincent Archabbey.
