In the upper photo are Brothers Macario and Anselm along with their parents. In the bottom photo are Brothers Macario and Anselm. Both photos were taken shortly after the Mass and solemn profession ceremony. Brother Macario is originally from Garden City, Kansas. Brother Anselm is originally from Houston, Texas. The church was filled for the Mass and profession on Sunday, August 19. For more photos of the profession go to my smugmug site:http://kennethosb.smugmug.com/gallery/3349129#186694978
On Wednesday, August 22, Brothers Guerric and Macario left for St. Meinrad Archabbey where they will begin theological studies. Brother Anselm also left on Wednesday for Washington, DC where he will begin graduate studies at the Catholic University of America.
All the students have now returned (I believe about 95-96 students) for the new school year. The weather is still hot and humid but all are surviving. The classrooms are air-conditioned but not the dormitories.
That about it for now.................

How does it work when a new monk, just after solumn vows, leaves the monestary shortly after vows?
That's all part of the vow of obedience. The abbot assigns the monk to go to school and sometimes that means going someplace else. Actually all of these young men will be living in Benedictine monasteries while they are in school.
