Our Lady of the Angels Province friar, Fr. Marek Stybor, OFM Conv. (pictured above in center and bottom right) serves our province as Parochial Vicar at our pastoral ministry of St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church (Point Pleasant Beach, NJ). This month, he facilitated a retreat entitled “The Soul’s Journey into God,” for the Novitiate Class of 2020/2021, at InterProvincial Novitiate in Arroyo Grande, CA. This is the first retreat for this new class of Novices, since their July 5, 2020 Investiture. More photos can be found on the Novitiate Facebook Page. This new class appreciates your continued prayers, as they hold all of you in theirs.
