From Santa Rita Trappistine Abbey in Arizona: 

March 25, 2020: Our Postulant Becomes a Novice

At our community chapter on March 25, the feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, we had the joy of clothing our postulant Sharon in the novice’s habit. The simple ceremony took place between the 7:00 a.m. Office of Lauds and our 8:00 a.m. Scripture and Communion Service. (Yes, like the rest of the world, we cannot attend Mass right now, since our would-be chaplain must stay home.)

Newark Abbey (Benedictine monks) has a new postulant. This monastery is in "the heart of the city" and they struggled for a a number of years. But they've had four solemn professions in maybe the last five years. And they five other men who are postulants, novices, or in temporary vows. https://www.newarkabbey.org/whats-new/news/news-story/~board/abbey-news-posts/post/james-mello-a-new-postulant-for-newark-abbey
