Toni Cashnelli, Author at Franciscan Friars

Investiture of Novices

Congratulations to the 10 novices who were invested with the Habit of the Order of Friars Minor at Old Mission Santa Barbara.

Many Franciscans joyfully celebrated the Feast of St. Francis despite social distancing restrictions because of Covid-19

After the initial shock of the pandemic shutdown, our sponsored ministries began to re-imagine the future.

Pray the Solemn Novena to St. Francis of Assisi with us. Sign up to receive daily email reflections and prayers beginning September 25.

Twenty years ago, four friars were asked, “Are you willing to serve as missioners in the Church of Montego Bay, Jamaica?” They answered, “We are.”
