The solemn Mass of St.
Augustine's Feast with Profession of Vows
This
year our novices, Doms Nicolaus and Ignatius made their simple professions along
with Dom Meinrad who renewed his profession for another three years. Dom
Albert was the man of the hour as he returned from his assignment in our parish
in Bergen, Norway to make his solemn profession and become finally a fully
professed canon regular of Klosterneuburg.

Dom Albert comes
before the Provost
and asks to be admitted to solemn vows
|
|
His prostration is
symbolic of his death to the world
and his oblation of himself to God
as we
chant the Litany of the Saints
|
"So help me God and
this His holy Gospel!"
|
Albert receives the
rochet, symbol of the canon regular
|
|
...and the mozetta at
the hands of the Provost
|
Congratulations!
|
The other
capitulars (solemnly professed)
also congratulate the new canon
