Hierarchical Visitation and Solemn Profession

On August 12, the Brotherhood welcomed His Grace Bishop John for a visitation. His Grace presided from the Throne for the Vigil of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday, August 14, at which he and Abbot Theodore witnessed and received the Solemn Profession of Vows of Dom Joseph-Marie Brown. This is truly a "landmark" occasion for us, as the first such Solemn Profession by someone who underwent his novitiate with us. Mass was followed by a festive Brunch. Then His Grace proceeded on to St. Columba Parish in Lafayette, CO to celebrate the Feast with them.
