Watch LIVE at 9:00 a.m. ET Monday!

On Monday, August 12 we invite your prayers for two men who will be professing perpetual, or final, vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience with our Marian Community: Brother Stephen Camara, MIC and Father Fidele Malanga, MIC.

For Brother Stephen, a seminarian, the next step will be, God willing, ordination to the diaconate and then priesthood.

Father Fidele is a diocesan priest from Africa who has joined the Marian Fathers.

Both will be invested with the white habit, a reminder of the charism of the Marian Fathers to promote the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, inspiring themselves and others to grow in purity and imitate the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Mass at 9:00 a.m. ET is by invitation only, but you can watch online here.

Please remember Br. Stephen and Fr. Fidele, and all the Marian Fathers, in your prayers!
