Meet Brother Keiren Hamilton

My name is Brother Keiren Hamilton. I am a novice at the Legionaries of Christ Novitiate and College of Humanities. Several years back, as a teen, I visited the Legion’s Sacred Heart Apostolic School in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. I loved that experience so much that I couldn’t wait to attend the school. That decision surprised both my family and me.

My years at Sacred Heart were some of the best of my life, and the things I learned there will stay with me forever. As I entered my senior year, however, I found myself caught in a dilemma. I loved the Legion, but I wasn’t quite sure if I was called to be a priest. I had the desire, but I didn’t know if I had the call. 

During that same year, several of my classmates and I visited the Legion’s Novitiate in Cheshire multiple times. Each time I wondered, am I meant to be here? Is this where God wants me to be? The more I prayed about it, the more I felt that the best choice was to at least try the Candidacy program. I loved it! It answered so many questions for me and showed me that the best choice sometimes is to follow your heart and your conscience when you don’t hear a clear answer.

Following my heart led me to a decision I know I won’t regret: giving God the first shot at my life.

Come and experience the joy when Br. Keiren makes his first vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience on Saturday, August 10, 2024!  More info
