The newly professed brothers
On December 8 (the feast of the Immaculate Conception), three of our brothers who are studying in Australia took their final vows - that is, made their Solemn Profession - in St Dominic's Church, Camberwell, Victoria.

Picured here with Fr Anthony, the Student Master, are Brothers Patrick Arahatara and Nicholas Tanau (both from Small Malaita in the Solomon Islands, and Brother Henry Natowosi, from the Trobriand Islands (in Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea.)  The pictures below give you an idea of the simple but moving ceremony.

Beginning of Mass
The beginning of Mass; the celebrant is Fr Kevin Saunders, our Prior Provincial.
Reading the Gospel
The Gospel is read by the deacon, Br Ben OFM Cap.

Before the homily, the brothers prostrate and the Provincial asks, "What do you seek?" They reply, "God's mercy, and yours!"
Brother Henry makes his vows
"I, Brother Henry Natowosi, make profession, and I promise obedience to God, and to Blessed Mary, and to Blessed Dominic, and to you, Brother Kevin Saunders, Prior Provincial of the Province of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in place of Brother Bruno Cadoré, Master of the Order of Friars Preachers, according to the Rule of Blessed Augustine and the Constitutions of the Friars Preachers, that I will be obedient to you and your successors until death."
