This summer we celebrate special anniversaries of monastic profession for five members of our community: Fr. Paul – 70 years, Fr. Charles – 60 years, Br. Damian – 50 years, Br. Benet – 40 years and Fr. Peter – 10 years. Along with these anniversaries, we continue to remember +Fr. Martin, who died peacefully within one month of his 70th anniversary of profession. Together they represent some 300 years in lives of service consecrated to God! Through their vocation they have offered countless prayers on behalf of others and have made a positive impact on unknown numbers of lives through the roles of ministry in which they have served.
I invite you to join the celebration of these significant anniversaries by making a financial contribution in honor of one or all of these jubilarians who have dedicated their lives to God and to others. Your gift will both affirm our jubilarians and assure those who now are joining the community that they also will have the opportunity to touch the lives of many in a positive way.
Thank you for your consideration and your prayers.
