BY JOSH FLORENCE F our men took temporary vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience at St. Jude's Parish in Lakewood July 23.ª These vows are for three years and will allow Brothers Jude Quinto, Joseph Ignowski, Luke Jordan, and Alex Diaz to continue their discernment within the religious community. All of the men will further their studies for the priest- hood at St. Anthony of Padua Friary in Denver. BROTHER LUKE JORDAN, 20 Home Parish: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Ft. Collins When talking about the fruits of his novitiate, Brother Luke refl ected on how he has grown to appreciate the use of a" ective prayer, or praying with the heart, and how a" ective prayer is con- nected to e" ective prayer. "As you pray with your heart, your heart begins to be transformed, and that's had a really strong impact on my two years with the order." BROTHER ALEX DÍAZ, 40 Home Parish: Catholic Charismatic Center, Houston, Texas After living a life away from the Church, Brother Alex fi rst heard a call to religious life in 2007. "I heard a call and started discerning, but then I paused it for seven years until my spiritual direc- tor told me it was time to do something about it if I wanted to [pursue religious life]. I started discerning with di" erent communities ... and the Lord brought me here to Denver and I'm very happy to be here." BROTHER JUDE QUINTO, 20 Home Parish: Christ the King, Denver Brother Jude had desired to become a priest from a young age. After meeting the Capuchins he loved how merciful, compassionate, human, and encourag- ingª they were in confession with him. After spending some time with various religious orders and not feeling called to enter any of them, he thought back to his initial encounter with the Capu- chins. It was then that he decided to apply for postulancy. BROTHER JOSEPH IGNOWSKI, 22 Home Parish: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Ft. Collins After freshman year of college, Brother Joseph participated in Totus Tuus in the Archdiocese of Denver. That was the most profound and dynamic summer of my life. (It) com- pletely changed me. I heard a call very strongly to the Capuchins and in a year I decided that call was persistent enough that I needed to follow it so I left school sophomore year and went to join the Capuchins."
