As we enter the homestretch of the Advent season, we have great news for our Institute family in the United States. After over two years of preparation at St. Francis de Sales Priory in St. Louis (and despite delays related to the virus situation and impossibility of international travel), our two oblate candidates will make their commitment as oblate brothers of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

Mark Halisky and Lance Gerbig will receive the cassock on Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, Missouri.

Thank you for joining me in praying for our confreres as they prepare to make this important consecration of their lives to the service of Holy Mother Church within the family of the Institute.
