Please pray for the repose of the soul of Martin Pasi, our organ builder, who passed away on Sunday Sept. 6, 2026. We were blessed to have known him and to receive the fruit of his labor. May God grant him eternal rest.

Today Br. Marko and Br. Joshua made their Final Vows with the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius on the Feast of the Assumption.
As the funeral pall covers them they lay prostrate on the floor as a sign of their death to the world. The litany of Saints is sung and once the pall is raised the fully professed brothers rise in new life with Christ. May they continue to be a witness to religious life and Christ’s love for us all.
Please continue to pray for Br. Joshua and Br. Marko
