We recently enjoyed a visit with the Dominican novices, friars in formation, of the Southern Province of St. Martin de Porres. Our Monastery of the Infant Jesus is in the Southern Province so we have a very close relationship with these friars. Their novice master, Fr. Francis Orozco, O.P., brought them to visit us so we can meet our new brothers in St. Dominic.

We love to meet the new novices. We always pray for our Dominican priests, and so it’s nice to be able to meet them in person. We had a great time talking about our lives as Dominicans and getting to know the novices personally.
Fr. R.B. Williams, our chaplain, also enjoyed meeting the novices.
We joked that maybe one of them would come back and be our chaplain someday.
God willing, they’ll come back to visit us someday as fully professed Dominicans!
