Typically, it takes about five years before a man takes his first vows.

“Each Brother is an open letter from Christ –

A message written, not with ink but in the Spirit ofthe living God, with a faithful human heart to carry it!”

Brothers nurture the development of the whole person,

opening minds, stimulating hearts, and strengthening bodies.
