“We are grateful to the initial formation teams of the Districts that accompanied David, Anthony, Patrick and Roberto providing them an excellent postulancy program,” said General Councilor Brother Robert Schieler. “These are good young men blessed with gifts and abilities that have already served them well in their respective apostolates.”

During their time in the Novitiate, the novices will take part in classes and activities to develop their faith, their understanding of religious life and the Brothers, and their experience of community. The novitiate program is under the leadership of Director Brother Kevin Slate and Sub-Director Brother Philip Johnson. Bro. Kevin, a member of the San Francisco District, served as Director to the 2010-2011 novitiate class. Bro. Philip, a member of the Midwest District, is currently Coordinator of Ministry/Identity at Lewis University.
Please remember in your prayers these four young men committing themselves to live as De La Salle Christian Brothers.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
