This month, five of our friars professed First (Simple) Vows. After signing the book of profession, they were given the Book of the Gospels, the way and life of the Friars Minor. It is customary that during the year of Novitiate the friars wear a cord without the knots indicating the three vows. After profession the friars exchanged their straight for knotted cords.
