Luigi Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) From Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon: Before traveling to Rome for the Congress, Abbot Jeremy presided at the Mass of Simple Vows for four novices and the Mass of Solemn Vows for one junior monk. While Abbot Jeremy was in Rome, Prior Vincent invested six postulants into the Novitiate, a year of intensive monastic formation which prepares for simple vows.

Luigi Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm not sure what the deal is with this guy - he's in only his third year as a Dominican, but he's being ordained. I think he had been with the Canons Regular of Mary Immaculate for a while before he joined the Dominicans, so maybe he had already completed some of his studies for the priesthood. Anyway, he's being ordained on the feast of St. Therese; he'll celebrate his first Mass at Little Flower parish the next day.

I think he'd done a lot of theology studies before joining the Dominicans, so that's why it didn't take long. https://thomasaquinas.edu/alumni/faith-action-blog/br-reginald-ryan-wolford-op-become-65th-alumnus-priest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) First vows (three years) of Chad Aubert, now Bro. Jerome Aubert, at St. Joseph Abbey in Louisiana - they're the ones who run a seminary and had an awful flood last year (after an awful fire a few years ago) (after someone sued them to stop making and selling caskets a few years before that). Those must be some tough monks! https://www.facebook.com/saintjosephabbey/?fref=ts (41 seconds) Edited October 7, 2016 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
