Editor's Note: We are back! Due to the high volume of events and information over the summer recess, we are sending out this special edition of Scala Transitions ahead of our next scheduled Scala Bulletin on October 15th. We rejoice in the goodness of the Lord in blessing us with these many first professions, perpetual professions and ordinations – as well as the new province of St. Clement. We also remember our confreres who have passed to eternal life. Much more to come in the Scala editions ahead.
