OFFICE OF VOCATIONS

​

At the end of the novitiate year (the first year in formation to be a Dominican Friar) and after discernment and approval by the local Dominican community and the prior provincial, novices profess simple vows to move to the next phase of their initial formation: to begin their formal graduate studies at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. Please join us in celebrating Brother Benedict Purnell and Brother Barnabas May as they complete their novitiate year with the profession of simple vows!
