Welcome Br. Boniface

Anewbrotherlandedat St. Michael’s School on 24th April to assist our heroic and saintly Br. Ignatius [I say this to embarrass Br. Ignatius, but it is true]. Br. Boniface is 28 years old and from a can-do, no-nonsense, American, traditional Catholic family in Minnesota U.S.A with 4 siblings and 70 cousins (two of whom are seminarians).

Br. Boniface entered the brothers’ noviciate in Winona in 2011. He has seen action in a school, a priory, a seminary and a noviciate. He has been a sacristan, cook, housefather, schola master, organist and assistant.

We are privileged to have brothers assigned to the district, especially since we have never had an Englishman give himself to the religious life as a Society . Please pray for priestly and religious vocations. We need more heroes.

OSacredHeart of Jesus, Who didst make known to St. Margaret Mary Thine ardent desire to reign over Christian families, behold us assembled here today to proclaim Thine absolute dominion over our home. Henceforth we purpose to lead a life like unto Thine, so that amongst us may flourish the virtues for which Thou didst promise peace on earth, and for this end we will banish from our midst the spirit of the world which Thou dost abhor so much. Thou wilt reign over our understanding by the simplicity of our faith. Thou wilt reign over our hearts by an ardent love for Thee; and may the flame of this love be ever kept burning in our hearts by the frequent reception of the Holy . Deign, O Divine Heart, to preside over our meetings, to bless our undertakings, both spiritual and temporal, to banish all worry and care, to sanctify our joys, and soothe our sorrows. If any of us should ever have the misfortune to grieve Thy Sacred Heart, remind him of Thy goodness and mercy towards the repentant sinner. Lastly, when the hour of separation will sound, and death will plunge our home into mourning, then shall we all, and every one of us, be resigned to Thy eternal decrees, and seek consolation in the thought that we shall one day be reunited in Heaven, where we shall sing the praises and of Thy Sacred Heart for all eternity. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the glorious St. Joseph, offer Thee this our Consecration, and remind us of the same all the days of our life. Glory to the Divine Heart of Jesus, our King and our Father. Amen.
