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.
