Luigi Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Mary Mother of the Church Benedictine Abbey in Virginia has a postulant - Brother Jude - as of June 1. The Abbey already has two men in temporary vows, and a novice was clothed on April 11th. All of which is good - this is a very small community, in need of vocations. Interestingly, Brother Jude originally entered a small monastery in Louisiana (Mother of the Redeemer), but now he's at Mary Mother of the Church. Mary Mother of the Church had a novice (I can't track down his name) who has changed locations to Newark Abbey. So - one from Louisiana to Virginia, and one from Virginia to New Jersey. Let us pray they all find a home and stability.

Luigi Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 From St. Anselm's Benedictine Abbey in Washington DC, here's a rather interesting story about a diaconal ordination. I tend to think of the Church as very big - and it is - but it's also so interconnected. ################################################## When our Br. Samuel Springuel was in grade school at St. Bartholomew’s Parish in Bethesda [Maryland], the priest who taught him how to serve Mass was Fr. Barry Knestout. Fr. Knestout later became an auxiliary bishop here in Washington and then, at the beginning of this year, was ordained bishop of Richmond, Virginia. As Br. Samuel was now completing his third year of theological studies at The Catholic University of America and became eligible to be ordained deacon, he inquired of his former “instructor” if he would be able to officiate at an ordination Mass here at the abbey. Bishop Knestout graciously agreed to this, so at our conventual Mass on Sunday, June 10 we joyfully celebrated the ordination. Bishop Knestout alluded to his longtime connection with Br. Samuel in his homily, and after the Mass he stayed for a reception in our Fort Augustus Room where Brother’s parents and many other relatives were among those in attendance.
