A solemn profession and clothing at the Monastery of the Incarnation
During the Conventual Mass on March 21st, Dom José Luis Espinoza Sánchez made his Solemn Profession as a monk of Belmont and Pachacamac. We congratulate him and wish him many years of happiness serving God in the monastic life. He is well known at Belmont, having stayed for extension visits on two occasions, including part of his novitiate. Ad multos annos.
On 20th March, Eve of the Solemnity of the Passing of St Benedict, Fr Abbot gave the habit to Br. Ascensio Quispe Ynquillay, as he began his novitiate after completing his time as a postulant. Br Ascensio hails from Cuzco and speaks Quechua as well as Spanish. He is 27 years' old and this is his second attempt at the monastic life.
It was wonderful to see so many people at the annual torchlight procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful magic and music with Fr Dominic and friends... all in a good cause.
At a solemn Mass, the feast of St Basil and St Gregory, Br Alban makes his promises as a claustral oblate.
