Although the Baltimore District’s Junior Novitiate began in 1881, it never had its own building until this day, when a new 4-story, brick structure opened its doors at Ammendale (MD). Junior Novices were young men who were considering the Brothers as a vocation and were continuing their high school education before moving on to the regular Novitiate program.
