On August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA, five Marian novices from the American Province made their first annual vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience before the Superior General of the Congregation of Marian Fathers, Fr. Joseph G. Roesch, MIC, who had traveled from Rome for the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our newly professed brothers are: Benjamin, Marciano, Wolfgang, Joseph, and Father Scott.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with Father General, a number of priests concelebrated the solemn Mass, including the Novice Master of the American Province, Fr. Stephen Castellano, MIC. We entrust our new confreres to the care of Mary, Immaculately Conceived, and to the intercession of our Father and Founder, St. Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary Papczy\u0144ski.<\/span><\/p>\n
