Pavel House came into being officially on August 9^th, 2015, but in fact our last member arrived just a few days ago, on Monday the 17^th.  On that day, Bro. Sagar arrived from India and a two-month home-visit. Now all six of us have arrived:  Blair, Jonathan, Joseph, Richard, Ryan and Sagar.  During these first days together, we’re fortunate to have a fairly light schedule.  That’s allowed us to buy the last few pots and pans we’ll need for the kitchen and in general to equip the house to receive an active community:  chapel, community room, dining room, kitchen, personal quarters…  After a quiet celebration of the Assumption at home, we’re planning the renewal of vows ceremony on August 28^th (at 11am in the chapel of what we’re fondly calling “the big house”, the Assumptionist Center), and then two days of thinking and praying about our life together in the year to come (our “Local Chapter”).  Variety will be the name of the game for us this year:  six brothers from five different countries; studies in three different schools (BC, St. John’s Seminary, and the Theological Institute for the New Evangelization; and ministry in more than a few different places.  We hope you’ll visit.  In fact, you can expect some direct invitations.  We count on your prayers.
