On June 7, 2017, Br. Rufino Madridejos, CRM and Br. Kevin Daborbor, CRM made their solemn profession of vows of chastity, poverty, obedience and of not seeking any ecclesiastical honor before God, the Church and the delegation superior of the CRM.
It was a blessed and joyous day in honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, whom the brothers constantly ask for aid and protection and for the Order of the Clerics Regular Minor to receive two additional members to the religious family.
In his homily, Fr. Ted reminded them to focus their attention to Jesus Christ, to imitate Him in the footsteps of our founders and the directives of our constitution. They are sure way toward holiness of life and sanctification of all their endeavors.
In response to their desire and firm resolve, the delegation superior responded with these words:
May God who has loved you with an everlasting love, and has called you to follow Christ in our religious family, strengthen this your desire with his grace, and bring it to fulfillment until the day of Christ the Lord and grant you the reward promised to those who follow him faithfully.
The brothers will be sent to South Carolina beginning in July 2017 to serve and experience the pastoral life of the parish while preparing themselves for the ordination to the sacred order of deacons. AMRG!
