On Thursday, September 7, Abbot Elijah invested Christian Stelly as a Novice of our community. Novice Christian will spend this period of his formation participating more fully in the prayer, study and work of Subiaco. The period of the novitiate lasts for one year (CIC 648.1), including a mid-point evaluation by the community on his progress. We give thanks for the blessing Novice Christian is to our Community!
