What Monks are up to

Our Father Boniface Hicks, O.S.B. was recently in Austin, Texas were he conducted the Lay Missionaries of Charity National Retreat along with Fr. Sebastian Vazhakhala, MC (the superior of the MC Brothers Contemplative and the first priest ordained as an MC). As some of you may know, our monastic community has a special connection with Blessed Teresa as our wonderful college president, Jim Towey had worked for 12 years as legal counsel to Mother Teresa of Calcutta and lived two years in her missions caring for those dying with AIDS in Washington, D.C. and struggling to survive along the U.S.-Mexico border (Check out the picture at left of President Towey and Blessed Teresa). He now has taken the lessons learned from one of the great saints of our time (Blessed Teresa) and brought them to St Vincent. He has dedicated his presidency to Mother Teresa with the hope that Saint Vincent graduates will be prepared to make a living for themselves and a difference in the world. This being stated, we are pleased to share with you some of the pictures of our Father Boniface, O.S.B. and our Missionary of Charity brothers.
