Looking beyond the longest Lent
I am looking forward to the blossoming of a new time, a springtime that promotes and reverences the connections between cultures, faith, and different experiences of being human.
Friars share their post-pandemic hopes
We asked our friars to answer the question, “What is one thing I’d like to do when the pandemic fades?” Here are their responses.
Why names matter so much
We believe that each one of us has been called by name by God. That we in our individuality are held to be precious by God.
What’s in a name?
“How bad could it be?” the classmates wondered as they prepared to receive their religious names. Pretty bad, actually, since names like Polycarp, Symphorian and Apollinar had been given to other friars.
Safely remote, we strive for balance
I am certain that God will generously bless these Zoom decisions as the best we can do in these pandemic days.
In our memories, forever young
Fr. Jack Wintz, OFM (1936-2021) is remembered by friend and colleague Fr. Murray Bodo, OFM.
