oh, yes...

i forgot. on sunday, i went to the profession of perpetual vows for some franciscan friars - two of them are friends of my sister, and she couldn't make it. so i spent the weekend with sisters and friars and fathers and family members of the above. point in case:

those are the friars who took their vows (l-r): br. simon marie, br. albert karol maria, br. damiano maria, br. gerard matthias, and br. isaac mary (of eden prairie)
