August 2009 - On Saturday,
August 22, David Patterson, Erik Jorge, Robert Lockwood, and
Joseph Newman took vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience
for the first time and became members of the Oblates of St.
Francis de Sales. The ceremony took place during the
celebration of Mass in the Chapel of St. Francis de Sales
High School in Toledo. To prepare for this event each
man lived for one year with Oblates as a first year student
or postulant and then spent this past year as a novice,
living in community and studying the Oblate Rule and other
material necessary to make profession of vows. Each of
the newly professed has a bachelor's degree and two have
master's degrees. This upcoming year, David will be
teaching Theology at Lumen Christi High School in Jackson
Michigan, Erik will be studying at Sienna Heights University
in Adrian Michigan, and Robert and Joseph will be studying
Theology at St. Michael's in Toronto. |
