Please pray for
Michael Taylor Hardgrove
who was Clothed as a Novice in the
Society of Saint John the Evangelist
on Saturday, 26 February
in the Monastery Chapel.
We invite you to join us online for the live-streamed event, as well as to share your prayers in the comments below. We hope that you will keep Michael in your prayers as he continues to discern his vocation.

A former member of your society was a mentor of mine when he served as Bishop of Nassau. I pray that you will be a credit to SSJE as he was in his time. Congratulations and God’s blessings on your vocation.
Brother Michael please know of my prayers for you in this vocational journey. I look forward to saying hello when the guesthouse can safely reopen. The Reverend Canon Joseph Asselin, Ancaster, Ontario.
All the very best to you Michael! Blessings on your continuing faith journey. Keep at it! Chaplain Tom Chapman SSJE/ FSJ
