Clothing of Novices 2016
News | On 17th September, our community in Cambridge welcomed seven novices, six for the Province of England and one for the Province of the Netherlands.
The clothing ceremony took place early in the morning, following a five-day retreat which allows the aspirants to prepare for the beginning of the noviciate. A number of Dominican brothers and sisters welcomed Br Cuthbert, Br Augustine (back row, left and right), Br Isaac, Br Thomas, Br Clement (centre row), Br Vincent and Br William (front row). Below are some photos from the occasion.
