15 new novices

"On the feast of our Holy Father St. Dominic, 15 men received the habit of St. Dominic and entered the novitiate of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph. The novitiate is located at St. Gertrude Priory in Cincinnati, OH. The purpose of the novitiate is to introduce individuals interested in religious life to the life of the order. These men will live out the regular life under the guidance of a Novice Master, who will instruct them in the life of the order, its history, and the three traditional religious vows (poverty, chastity, and obedience)."
