Maria Eich novitiate convent again. In the summer one or two novices move to the Augustinian monastery in Planegg.

A candidate has applied and has already been admitted, says Father Christian Rentsch, Prior of Maria Eich. The German province includes a total of 37 confreres, one of whom is in Rome and the other in the Congo. The next stage in becoming an Augustinian forever is the celebration of first profession. Taking the religious vows initially binds you to the order for one year.
