Remembering the longtime MSC Profession Date

From early years, the profession date for MSC student and brothers was February 26^th, time to make a retreat, celebrate professions and then move to the start of the academic years. (There was another possibility for profession for brothers, August 5^th – as Fr Power used to say, “Our Lady’s Little Snows”!)

So, today, many anniversaries, many novitiate memories, some serious, some hard, some funny – some not so funny then or now.  But a congratulations day.

Thanks to John Walker for the photos over the years but, especially these recent photos of the Ark and the Lifeboat and the Chapel where we made our vows. And making the Ark and Lifeboat look better than they ever did in real life.

Some congratulatory nods to Peter Harvey-Jackson, 65 years, and Keith Humphries and Paul Jennings, 60 years.
