Update: We had major problems with the computer so we were not able to broadcast tonight. Sorry!

Tonight we will be doing a live broadcast of the investiture of four new Novices to start the new formation year. This will start at 7:00pm when we will broadcast Vespers (Evening Prayer), during which last years Postulants will be invested in the Novice’s habit.

Then, tomorrow, the feast of the Birthday of Our Lady, again at 7pm, we will live stream the Mass during which the four Novices from last year will make their first profession.

So log on to Airmaria.com at the above times and witness these joyous events. Deo Gratias!

Ave Maria! On Sunday, September 8th, Feast of the Birth of Our Lady, fourteen young men entered our novitiate with a ceremony at our friary in Casino, Italy. Deo Gratias!

They include three Americans: Alec Clark, Joseph Siebenmorgen, Joshua Massatt. I do not know the names of the rest, but they hail from West Africa, South America, and the Philippines.

The noviciate will be in our friary in Tarquinia, Italy, two hours north of Rome. The goal is to make first vows in September 2020. Keep them in your prayers.

We don’t know the exact event this picture shows if they are practicing for the choir or actually singing during the ceremony. We will let you know if we find out.
