Renewing Religious Vows

Renewing Religious Vows

Today, at the memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, thirteen student brothers renewed their religious vows in the Priory’s chapel of St. Dominic. Conventual Prior, Fr. Javier González Izquierdo, OP, presides over the solemn Eucharistic celebration and receives the professions of the brothers. In his homily, Fr. Javier reminds us that the renewing of vows should not be just a symbol but the renewing of persons. The thirteen brothers are from different countries: one from Korea, six from Myanmar, and six from Timor-Leste. Let us continue praying for them to be faithful and persevere in their Dominican vocation!
