(Br. Barry Noel, Director of Novices, at the reception of four Novices to our Novitiate in Killarney)
September
16th was an occasion of joy for the Presentation Brothers as four
young men were received into our International Novitiate in Killarney. Novitiate
is for a period of two years. It is a time of spiritual preparation. It
involves prayer, reflection and study.
The
four young men requested admission to the novitiate during a celebration of the
Eucharist by Fr. Jim Linehan in the presence of Brothers and
friends. They begin their journey of formation as they respond to follow God’s
Call to be Presentation Brothers at this time.
Three
of the novices Stanislaus, Collins, Douglas are from Sri Lanka and David is
from Canada. This gives a great sense of hope as the vocation of Brother in the
Church continues to be relevant and significant in our world today.
Elsewhere
fifteen men embark on various stages of the journey to becoming Presentation
Brothers. They come from Ghana, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Canada.
We
welcome and congratulate these men as they journey with us in the Presentation Family and we
keep them in our prayer as they respond to God’s call in Religious Life.
