After the Kiss of Peace from the Provincial, all of the friars present gather in the middle of the choir to welcome the new novices to the Order with the Kiss of Peace.

This is a joyous occasion for all!

It is impossible at this moment to remember all of their names!

Welcome brother!

After the completion of Compline, two of the new novices led the friars present in the traditional Salve Procession out to the statue of Our Lady in the cloister.

Hail, Holy Queen, mother of mercies...

Our life, our sweetness, and our hope...

When the candle bearers reached the statue of Our Lady the friars then lined the walkway to finish the Salve!
