28 January 2007 Brs Bede Denham, O.P. and Vincent Magat, O.P. renew simple profession.

The Prior Provincial, after consultation with the Chapter and Council of St Dominic's Camberwell, received the renewal of vows of Brs Bede Denham, O.P. and Vincent Magat, O.P.  Br Bede has recently completed his pastoral semester in the Sydney parish of Earlwood, while Br Vincent continues his studies in Melbourne.

Renewal of simple profession is required of a brother whose initial period of simple vows has expired.  Brs Bede and Vincent made simple profession for three years on 28 January 2003.  They have renewed those vows for one year, using this formula:


          I, Brother N.N., make profession,

          and I promise obedience to God,
          to blessed Mary, to blessed Dominic,
          and to you, brother N.N.,
          in place of brother Carlos Azpiroz Costa,
          Master of the Order of Friars Preachers
          and his successors,
          according to the rule of blessed Augustine
          and the Constitutions of the Friars Preachers
          that I will be obedient to you and to your successors,
          for one year.

Br Bede Denham, O.P.
