Our two postulants, Matthew David and Jaden Wonders, were formally received into the postulancy program in Milwaukee, WI. This marks the official beginning of their first year in formation. Please pray for all six postulants as well as their formators! Click for pictures.

We give thanks to the Lord for the many blessings received during our Provincial Assembly last week. Together, we prayed for our deceased brothers, reflected on our life and mission as a Province, and joyfully celebrated the temporary profession of two brothers and the solemn profession of one brother. Above all, we were grateful for the gift of fraternity as we gathered in the spirit of our Seraphic Father, Saint Francis of Assisi.

Today, Brother Yovani has made a lifelong commitment to serve God and His Church as a Capuchin friar, embracing the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis with generosity, humility, and joy. Please join us in praying for his faithful perseverance, that the Lord may continue to strengthen him in his vocation and bless his desire to serve Christ by serving our brothers and sisters. May God, who has begun this good work in him, bring it to fulfillment.

We give thanks and praise to God for the temporary profession of vows of our brothers Giomar Figueroa and Carlos-Andrés Rodríguez. We are grateful to their families for the loving support they have given them throughout their formation, and we also thank all of you for your prayers. Let us continue to pray for them, that they may persevere in saying “yes” to the Lord with generosity and joy.
