Increasing Numbers of Brothers in Formation
Posted by Br. Peter Martyr Joseph Yungwirth, O.P. on January 18, 2010
Brothers in formation, DHS Chapel, January 2010.
In humility and gratitude, we are happy to report that the Province of St. Joseph is continuing to attract vocations. As you can see from the picture above---taken last week when the novices from Cincinnati were visiting with the student brothers in Washington---there are currently 40 young Friars at various stages of religious and priestly formation. The House of Studies and the Novitiate are bursting at the seams! And next year's novitiate class is already shaping up to be the largest in decades!
The above photo reveals not only the blessing of numbers---for which we are thankful---but also the joy and enthusiasm the young Friars easily show for the life they have embraced. Of course, these blessings do not come to the Province without your prayers and generous assistance. Thank you for your prayerful support of all of the brothers in formation, and please continue to pray for vocations to the Province and to the Order.
