It is published in the minutes of Provincial Council meetings and must be implemented by the intended members of the province. The provincial minister with the consent of his council may act in exception to these policies if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the province. 1. When helpful, policy level directives from an authority higher than the province are included in the provincial handbook. 2. Job descriptions included in this handbook are approved by the provincial minister and Provincial Council and are intended to guide friars involved in provincial offices in carrying out their responsibilities. 3. At the beginning of each triennium, the provincial minister and his council shall appoint someone to keep this Provincial Handbook up-to-date during the triennium. The appointed person shall update the digital version of the book as changes are made throughout the triennium. At least annually, he shall arrange with Capuchin Communications to publish a downloadable digital copy to friars and relevant partners in ministry. 4. All policies in this version were reviewed by the Provincial Council, and are considered effective on the listed approval (or "re-approval") date. The latest approval date is always considered the valid version. ### Page 5 of 158 (Version: September 2012) Affiliation with the Province (Re-approved: July 2003) 1. Affiliation to the Capuchin Province of St. Joseph can be granted only by the provincial minister and his council. Recommendation for affiliation can only come from an assembled local Capuchin fraternity. Recommendation from an individual friar, without the support of the local community, will not be considered. 2. Recommendation for the affiliation shall be made through a formal letter by the local minister. The letter shall contain reasons for the nomination together with a general biographical history of the person nominated. This request will also include a summary of the local community's discussion on the nomination. 3. The person nominated should have a long standing relationship to the local community or province (e.g., ten years or more). 4. The person nominated must have given faithful service to the local Capuchin community or province, not just a particular ministry or friar. That service will be expressed by a generous giving of time, talent, or support of any kind, to foster the life and ministry of the local community or province. 5. The person should be truly virtuous, have a genuine love for Franciscan ideals and for the church and be well thought of by the local community—both religious and lay. 6. The ceremony of affiliation is to be presided over by the provincial minister or his delegate at a fitting ceremony. 7. A document of affiliation shall be given the person and a copy shall be kept in the provincial office and archives. A notice of affiliation will be sent to all the communities and individual friars of the province. 8. Affiliates' names and addresses will be listed in a special section of the annual directory of the province, listing the friary through which they are affiliated. 9. Our human and spiritual relationship with our affiliates is to be fostered by inviting them to local and provincial gatherings of the friars and by remembering them in our private and communal prayer. The local community is to take the initiative in these matters. ### Page 6 of 158 (Version: September 2012) Provincial Chapters (Re-approved: July 2003) 1. The question of universal suffrage has been assigned by the constitutions to the general membership of the province. Thus, it does not pertain to a provincial chapter to determine the matter. It is a question that can be addressed only by the general membership of the province in accordance with No. 125.2. 2. Once the general membership of the province has pronounced itself on the question in accordance with 125.2, that decision remains in force until another general vote of the province overturns that decision. Thus, concretely, St Joseph Province voted, according to 125.2, to conduct the provincial chapter by universal suffrage. Thus, this chapter and all subsequent chapters will be conducted by universal suffrage unless another vote of the general membership intervenes. 3. Who determines whether or not there should be a vote of the general membership on the question of universal suffrage?" This is a question of a pastoral decision on the part of the provincial minister and his council. If they sense significant feelings on the question in the province, they should call for a vote, either to initiate general suffrage or to reconsider it. In either case, for general suffrage to begin or to continue, a two-thirds favorable vote is required. ### Page 7 of 158 (Version: September 2012) Chemical Dependency (Re-approved: July 2003) 1. The Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order, in accordance with the highest professional authorities, hereby officially recognizes chemical dependency as a human disease condition, which demands our enlightened concern. 2. This disease, which can and does occur among us, generally manifests itself in a threefold impairment of body, mind and spirit which, unless arrested, can lead to irreparable damage. The victims of chemical dependency need, and fraternal charity demands, that they be given proper understanding and professional

  • What Is a Capuchin Friar? What Do They Do? Who Are They?
    what is a capuchin friar? what do they do? who are they? an introduction to the Exactly 257 years ago before anyone knew Capuchin Friars about capuchin monkeys (so named in 1758), there were Capuchin friars. It was more than 400 years after Capuchin friars came into existence in 1528 that anyone tasted a cup of cappuccino (first served in 1948). As for friar’s, no, they aren’t fryers, but some of them do prefer theirs fried, rather than baked or grilled. The ‘hood’? It’s all in the name. The brotherhood is found in all kinds of neighbourhoods, hoods and all. Even if you have known Capuchin friars for a long time, it wouldn’t be surprising if you found them somewhat mysterious. The Catholic Church has many religious Orders and communities of men. So what makes Capuchins different? Aren’t they Franciscans? And how are they different from Diocesan priests? It can all be confusing even for those well versed in Catholic life. Maybe you can recognize a Capuchin because of the curious, medieval clothing he wears, but you might wonder what makes him tick on the inside. Come to think about it, why do they wear that robe? And you might ask why anyone would want to be a Capuchin friar in this day and age? Is there a point to a bunch of men living together? Why don’t they get married like other people? And then there’s the money thing? Like everyone else they need it, but they take a vow of poverty.

The friars do formulate similar plans, but their roles vary significantly. I contrast their approaches using Michel Foucault’s definition of pastoral power, with Friar Lawrence as an overly manipulative friar controlling the lovers in spiritual matters, and Friar Francis as a humble military friar returning from the Wars of Religion to share his authority with others.

  • John of Monte Corvino: Report from China 1305
    John of Monte Corvino: Report from China 1305 John of Monte Corvino (1247-1328) was a Franciscan priest and the first archbishop of Cambalec (present-day Beijing) in 1307. He crossed central Asia during a rare interval of peace when that region was controlled by the Mongol Khans. Despite disappointment at the Mongols' reception of their early embassies to the Great Khan and his lieutenants, popes and kings in the West did not abandon hope of converting the Mongols to Roman Christianity and allying with them against Islam. On their part, various Mongol khans continued to flirt with the idea of joining with European Christian powers against a common Muslim foe. In 1287 Arghun, il-khan of Persia (r. 1284-1291), a nephew and subordinate of the Great Khan, Kubilai (r. 1260-1294), sent a Nestorian Christian monk, Rabban (Master) Sauma (ca. 1230-1294) to the West, bearing letters for the pope, the kings of France and England, and the emperor of Constantinople, in which the Mongol prince offered to become a Christian in return for an alliance against a common enemy, the Muslim Mamluks of Egypt. The Mamluks had rolled back a Mongol invasion of Syria- Palestine with a decisive victory at 'Ayn Jalut in 1260, and they were on the threshold of capturing the last of the crusader strongholds in that same region. Arghun died before he or anyone else could act on the proposal, and in 1295 his successor embraced Islam, thereby ending any hope of a Mongol-European crusade in the Holy Land. Arghun's overtures, however, set in motion a remarkable adventure for one European missionary.

  • Franciscans in Egypt | 1 FRANCISCANS in EGYPT
    Franciscans In Egypt | 1 FRANCISCANS IN EGYPT The history of the Franciscans in Egypt goes back to 1219 whenSaint Francis met Sultan al-Malik al- Kamil (1218-1238) near the city of Damietta. Francis had gone to Damietta with the Crusaders, but with the aim of spreading the message of peace proclaimed by Jesus Christ. For a few years, he had been thinking of a Franciscan presence in the Muslim world, which he conceived as peaceful coexistence with the native population. Franciscans’ life of ardent prayer, of brotherly love, of poverty and meekness, would be a testimony to the Gospel. In that same year, Saint Francis inaugurated the Order Province of the Orient to encompass Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, later to become the Custody of the Holy Land. Not much is known about the first four hundred years of Franciscan presence in Egypt. Certainly, it was not a continuous one. Around 1630 two groups of Franciscans started their life and activity in the land of the Nile and established a presence that has not since been interrupted. Even now, there are two distinct groups: one formed by the friars of the Custody of the Holy Land, and the other sent directly by the Congregation de Propaganda Fide and at present forming the Vice-province of the Holy Family. When in 1926 the apostolic vicariate of Suez (later called vicariate of Port Said) was established, the friars living there came under the jurisdiction of the Province of Saint Bernardine in France, but since 1957 they have become again part of the Custody of the Holy Land.

THE COAT OF ARMS SOME EXTERNAL INSIGNIA OF OFFICE FOR DIGNITARIES OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN OF JERUSALEM, CYPRUS, RHODES AND MALTA John Joseph Fitzpatrick Kennedy Among the surprises awaiting the student of Hospitaller heraldry is the discovery that certain dignitaries of the order were entitled to use maces and standards, that is to say, external insignia of their offices in their heraldic achievements. Three customs relating to the heraldic display of the officers of the order are well-known, if insufficiently studied. They may be delineated as (a) the ‘Grand Master’s Custom’, by which the Grand Master could quarter the arms of the Religion in the first and fourth quarters with his family arms in the second and third;1 (b) the ‘Chief of Religion’, the custom which arose in 1470, by which a chief of the arms of the Religion could be added to the arms of Capitular Baillis and Grand Crosses of the order;2 and (c) the ‘Grand Cross custom’, by which knights placing their arms over an eight pointed cross of Malta when they became Grand Crosses of the order.3 It is not however the intention of this study to examine these three customs.

    Online Supplement The Augustinian Vol VII . Issue I Fall 2012 Volume VII . Issue I The Augustinian Fall 2012 - Online Supplement Augustinian Cardinals Fr. Prospero Grech, O.S.A., was named by Pope Benedict XVI to the College of Cardinals on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2012. On February 18, 2012, when he received the red biretta, he joined the ranks of twelve other Augustinian Friars who have served as Cardinals. This line stretches back to 1378, when Bonaventura Badoardo da Padova, O.S.A., was named Cardinal, the first Augustinian Friar so honored. Starting with the current Cardinal, Prospero Grech, read a biographical sketch for each of the thirteen Augustinian Cardinals. Friars of the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova Sebastiano Martinelli, O.S.A., the most recent Augustinian Cardinal prior to Cardinal Prospero Grech, O.S.A., served as Apostolic Delegate to the United States (1896 - 1902). While serving in this position, he made several trips to visit Augustinian sites. In 1897, while visiting Villanova, he was pho- tographed with the professed friars of the Province. Among these men were friars who served in leader- ship roles for the Province, at Villanova College, and in parishes and schools run by the Augustinians. Who were these friars and where did they serve?
