Br. Jamie’s Initial Profession of Vows
We are happy to announce Br. Jamie Nelson’s initial profession of vows in the Society of Saint John the Evangelist on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 11 a.m. We hope you can join us, either in person or online, for this joyful celebration!


Many blessings, Br. Jamie. What a wonderful journey this has been!
Looking forward to joining online. Congratulations, Br. Jamie, and blessings on the day. I am so grateful for the many gifts you bring to the ministry and to our broader life together, and I so enjoy chatting with you and the brothers on Quiet Days, after Evensong or Holy Eucharist, or wherever I can make it to the monastery in person. This stormy day cannot dampen the Light of Christ that shines in and through you. May God bless you, keep you, and guide your next steps in this great adventure. Shine on!
Choicest Blessings, Brother Jaime!
Many blessings on this next step in Br Jamie’s journey!!
Jamie,
Brady and I are so pleased for you in your decision to make your initial vows. I remember when you arrived at Emery House in July of 2023 to begin this process. We offer prayers for this next step in your monastic life.
Dear Br. Jamie,
This is good news for so many; for you, for your SSJE brothers, for SSJE, and for the manifestation of God’s love in the world. I look forward, God willing, to be present at the monastery on this special day. Bobbi
