Nazarites 2.0

Again this year, Fr. Scott and I challenged the men of the parish to join us in the Nazarite Challenge--to grow out their beards for the month of November and commit to growing in fraternity and holiness.  (Last year's challenge resulted in the formation of a great little parish men's group, "André's Brothers.")  Tonight, we invited those who accepted the Challenge to come together for Vespers, snacks, and drinks.  Just take a look at all these handsome, happy, hirsute faces:


Thanks to the talents of the wife of one of the men, even the cookies had whiskers:


But the greatest (and most unexpected) source of joy during this November's edition of the Challenge was that we finally got Fr. Stitt to break down and give the bearded life a try:


I'm not sure how long his man mane will last, but we'll make the the most of it while it does!
