Following on the joyful celebration of Br. Elijah’s reception of the habit earlier in the month, this last Sunday was yet another cause for celebration and gratitude to God as Br. John Blaschik pronounced his First Vows. Having completed his first three years of formation, Br. John now continues his preparation for Final Vows, three years from now. Please join us in thanking God for this blessing on our community and let us all continue to support Br. John with our prayers for the years ahead. May God who has begun this good work in Br. John bring it to completion in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
