Vestition - 2012
It was with great joy that the friars of the Western Dominican Province celebrated the vestition of six new novices on Thursday, August 30, 2012 at Compline in St. Dominic Priory Church, San Francisco, CA.
In the order they will be known as (from left to right) Br. Gregory Augustine (Jack Liu), Br. Thomas (Tom Sundaram), Br. Matthew (Mason Peddemors), Br. Augustine Guadalupe (Brendon Ford), Br. Jonathan (Brannon Lepak), Br. Pius (Pius Youn).
May our Good Lord bring to completion what He has begun in them.
Please do keep our new brothers in your prayers and, if possible, consider a regular donation to the Western Dominican Province to help support these and the student brothers at St. Albert Priory. Many blessings!
