RosaMystica Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) More good news: 12 young women will be entering with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist today at 4pm! Please pray for all of the new postulants! I had been accepted into this Community for this year, but as I discerned further I realized that wasn't the place God wills for me to be, but I'll save this story for another time Edited August 28, 2008 by RosaMystica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It seems that the Benedictine abbey of St. Louis & St. Mary (English congregation, monastery in St. Louis) has THREE new novices: Brother Dunstan Holms, Brother Joseph Goodreau, Brother Richard Towne. Typically, new novices join the community at about the same time the school year starts. The website (http://www.stlouisabbey.org/) provides no information about them except their names - which is typical for novices on this website - but those three names didn't used to be there! Once you're on the website, click on "The Monks" link. This community has been growing steadily over the last six or seven years. Let us pray for them, and thank the Lord.

Luigi Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 From Cenception (Benedictine) Abbey in northwest Missouri: Receiving new members into the monastic community is cause for celebration and joy. On Aug 14, we were happy to welcome our postulant to officially begin his year long novitiate as Nov. Adam. The following day, the feast of the Assumption, was a special day for our former Novice Isaac who professed his simple vows for a period of three years receiving the name Br. Placid. ... We pray that the coming period of discernment for Nov. Adam and Br. Placid will be a time of spiritual growth and happiness. At the Aug 24 Sunday Eucharist two of our junior monks, Br. Victor and Br. David, finished their period of simple vows and pronounced their perpetual solemn vows before Abbot Gregory and the monastic community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the new professed that I know of. However, one of the new perpetually professed will be assigned there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
