Investiture of Novices at Our Lady of St. Bernard in San Jose
July 22, 2023
On July 22, two more novices were invested at the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Saint Bernard in San Jose, Brasil, on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene. At this time, the Abbot, D. Paulo Celso de Martini, recognized this as a moment of rebirth which the abbey is experiencing, glorifying God for the entrance of the new brothers. The rite of investiture took place at Midday prayer in the abbey church. Let us pray for the holy perseverance of the current five novices.
