Joseph, Vincent, Isaac, Benedict, (front) Raphael, Samuel, and James Peter. They are a gifted and prayerful group of young men that the province is quite proud of, and eager to see move forward with theological and philosophical studies in St. Louis. They will profess simple vows this evening at St. Dominic's Church in Denver, CO (the parish church just across the street from the novitiate). You may recall that in St. Albert's Province, we profess simple vows for two years, and then renew simple vows for another two years, before applying for solemn vows. The seven newly professed brothers will then move out of the novitiate and fly to St. Louis tomorrow to begin life there at St. Dominic's Priory. I will be flying to St. Louis tomorrow, as well, and look forward to greeting these brothers. I will also be visiting the new St. Dominic's Priory, which is steadily moving toward completion. We have six new novices taking the place of these seven. May their year in Denver be a spiritually fruitful one. We also have a new friar stepping in as novice master, as Fr. Louis Morrone, OP leaves that post to begin work as socius of the new provincial, Fr. Charles Bouchard, OP. The new novice master is Fr. Robert Keller, former pastor of St. Paul Catholic Center at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. Please join me in praying for these brothers and for vocations to the Dominican Order of Preachers. God Bless, Br. Paul, OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sistersintigo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The novices who have just arrived in Denver will indeed have fr Bob Keller for their novice master, replacing fr Morrone. There is a retreat a little less than one week long, which the new novices have with a retreat master, someone separate. Then fr Keller and the novices begin their novitiate year together after the retreat. When the outgoing simple professed began as novices, there were nine of them at first; they must have lost one or two on the way to simple profession this month.
