Eric Pohlman Professes Vows

     On October 15, 2005, Eric Pohlman, Class of 2000, professed temporary vows as a Benedictine monk in the abbey church of St. Procopius in Lisle, Illinois.  His parents are Charlie and Janice Pohlman and his home parish is St. John's in Delphos.  A monk in temporary vows makes a commitment for three years and professes vows of obedience, stability in the community, and conversion to a monastic way of life as lived at St. Procopius Abbey.  Since most Benedicting communities are autonomous, Brother Eric, if he remains and makes a permanent commitment, will live at the abbey in Lisle for the remainder of his life. 

     Please remember to keep Eric in your prayers as he continues to discern God's calling for him.  Also hats off to the Sisters of Notre Dame who Eric credits for planting the seeds of his vocation (especially Srs. M. Michel and M. Valerie).  Keep up the good work.
