Our Friars of St. Catharine of Siena Friary (Seaside Park, NJ) hosted a day of recollection with our friars of St. Peter Friary (Pt. Pleasant, NJ). Friar Manny Vasconcelos, OFM Conv. travelled from our Franciscan Martyrs Friary (Columbus, GA) to serve as the presenter. The day was full of presentations on the gift of REST as well as prayer, Eucharistic liturgy, drinks and dinner. It was a most welcomed day of REST, GRACE, and Franciscan FRATERNITY!
