So it’s been a week living here in the Salesian Formation House in Orange, NJ.  So far I really am having an amazing time.  I’m living in a community of brothers who all want to grow in holiness as much as I do.  We’re all doing whatever we can to grow closer to each other, and closer to Jesus Christ.  I truly believe this is going to be an amazing year. I really love the Salesians for so many reasons…working for the young is such an important and oftentimes overlooked thing today, and also the Salesians know how to get closer to Christ while keeping everything fun and exciting.  Playing different sport games with my brothers and chilling in the community room are very common in Salesian Houses.  The Salesians are a great order and I am so grateful to be a part of them.  I know I will learn so much more about myself and my relationship with Christ this year, I am really looking forward to it.
