From there he went to Louisville, Kentucky where he completed his novitiate and took his vows on July 12, 1918. As a Passionist brother he had several assignments. For two years he was a cook, but later his principle duties were those of a boiler man and an ‘outside’ brother. He was an early riser and at 5:30 AM made the stations of the cross.
