This summer, as part of their first visit to the United States from Mexico, our friars had some special visitors who stopped into the Provincial House, in Ellicott City, MD. One of our friars in the post-novitiate stage of Formation studying at the Catholic University of America, friar Luis Palacios Rodriguez, OFM Conv. (center friar), brought his mother Carmel (in white) and his sister Ruth (plaid) to meet our Vicar Provincial – Fr. Brad Milunski, OFM Conv., Provincial Secretary – Fr. Richard-Jacob Forcier, OFM Conv. and Minister Provincial – Very Reverend Fr. James McCurry, OFM Conv. (left to right)
Please keep all families who sacrificially give their sons and brothers to the life of a Conventual Franciscan Friar, in your prayers, as you are all in ours.
