Br. Alan T. Le becomes Postulant

On November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints, Br. Alan T. Le entered the Postulancy at Mount Carmel Hermitage.  During the ceremony marking the next step in his eremitical formation, Br. Alan receives the Postulant's Tunic and small Scapular.  The tunic shaped in the form of a cross signifies that the Postulant will take up his cross and follow Christ.  The scapular signifies the assistance and protection of Our Lady in shaping the Postulant to become more Christ-like.
