Candidacy

On June 15, nine young men discerning their vocation to the Legion of Christ arrived to Cheshire.  The candidacy program, under the direction of Fr Edward Hopkins, LC, runs the length of the summer and includes ample time for prayer, discernment, work, recreation, study, and community life. The candidates hail from many states around the country, including Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, and New Hampshire. Shortly after a warm welcome to the novitiate, the candidates grilled out and played ultimate Frisbee at nearby People’s Park. They even turned the pond-cleaning project into a moment of brotherhood bonding (photo)! Please pray for thse young men as they discern God’s call to the priesthood and religious life!
