Film of Aug. 5th Mass of Augustinian Professions
On Saturday August 5, two novices of the Villanova Province, Jeremy Hiers and William Gabriel, professed simple vows, together with two novices of the California Province and a priest who will make his commitment to the Canadian Province. At the same time, two other friars made their solemn profession. The ceremony was held at Founder's Chapel at the University of San Diego, San Diego, California.
OUR APOLOGIES! DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES the video crew set to broadcast the Mass live from San Diego, had problems with the live feed, but the video taping proceeded and the video can be seen by clicking here, YOU TUBE VIDEO CHANNEL.
Prayerful good wishes go to all of these brothers as they live their commitment to the Augustinian way of life.
