Quasar 245 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Regarding the new novice at St. Joseph's Benedictine Abbey... can monks become priests as well, or are they mutually exclusive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most certainly monks can become priests (and vice versa) but in the Benedictine tradition, the primary vocation is to be a monk rather than to be a priest. To a large extent they are separate vocations and in the majority of monasteries within the Benedictine Confederation, one does not begin the formal discernment about diaconate or priesthood until one has made solemn vows as a monk.

Luigi 3,626 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 St. Benedict's Abbey in Kansas received two postulants on September 8th. https://www.facebook.com/kansasmonks/videos/1093694580709349/ ########### Subiaco Benedictine Abbey invested a novice on September 7th, and one of their two novices made first vows on September 8th. http://www.countrymonks.org/news/subiaco-abbey-news-three-today (Subiaco, like St. Meinrad's in Indiana, receives novices in February and September. So a man who enters as a postulant in February, is invested as a novice in September, while a man who enters as a postulant in September is invested as a novice in February. At least, I think that's the way it works.) katherineH, AveMariaPurissima and salveregina10 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
