Father John Stowe, OFM Conv. Father John Stowe Was Born 15 April 1966 to John R and Lucy Satelli Stowe of Lorain, Ohio Father John Stowe, OFM Conv. Father John Stowe was born 15 April 1966 to John R and Lucy Satelli Stowe of Lorain, Ohio. He attended grade school at Saint Anthony of Padua Parish staffed by the Conventual Franciscans and Lorain Catholic High School. After a year of community college, Fr John joined the formation program for the Conventual Franciscan Province of Our Lady of Consolation at Saint Bonaventure Friary in St. Louis, Missouri. During the time of his candidacy he began studies in Philosophy and History at Saint Louis University and completed B.A.s in each in 1990 after an interruption for novitiate. In 1992 he professed solemn vows in the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. Father John earned a Masters of Divinity and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology in the field of Church History from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley (now affiliated with Santa Clara University). He served as a transitional deacon at Saint David of Wales Parish in Richmond, California and completed his diaconate at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in El Paso, Texas. In 1995 he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop A. James Quinn at his home parish of Saint Anthony in Lorian. He was assigned to continue at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church as associate pastor. The parish is at the site of the Ysleta Mission, founded in 1682, and the oldest parish in Texas. It is on the U.S.- Mexico border and includes the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of the Tigua tribe of Native Americans. Father John would continue as pastor of that parish. In December of 2002, Father John was invited by the Most Reverend Armando X. Ochoa, Bishop of El Paso, to serve the Diocese of El Paso as Moderator of the Curia and Vicar General. He later also served as Chancellor of the diocese. With a lack of priests in the diocese, Father John also assumed the role of Administrator of Our Lady of the Valley Parish there while serving in the Chancery. At the Province Chapter of 2010, Father John was elected Vicar Provincial of the Province of Our Lady of Consolation; he resigned from the Chancery in El Paso and became Pastor and Rector of the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio (Toledo Diocese). He was re-elected vicar at the Chapter of 2014. During his time in El Paso, Father John taught in the Tepeyac Institute for lay ministry, in the permanent diaconate formation programs for the Diocese of Las Cruces and El Paso, and was active in community organizing in an organization called EPISO. He was active in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue and frequently taught jointly with Rabbi Larry Bach of the Reformed Temple Mount Sinai. In the Franciscan Province Father John chaired the Peace and Justice Commission and the Finance Commission at different times and served a term as a definitor (provincial counselor) even prior to his election as vicar provincial. The Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation was founded in 1875 and features a statue of Our Lady from that time brought from the mother shrine in Luxembourg. The Conventual Franciscans were given guardianship of the Shrine in 1912. Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the shrine each year from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, especially on the Feast of Mary’s Assumption in August. Bishop Stowe was ordained the third bishop of the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky on May 5, 2015. .

  • Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012)
    Norbertine Spain: Preliminary Outline (August 28, 2012) Brief Historical, Political, Social, and Religious Background Prepared by Br. Terrence Lauerman, O. Praem., D. A. A. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Castilla-Burgos): According to Eduardo Corredera, the famous Marist historian who researched Premonstratensian history in Spain, the lore about the foundation of the Premonstratensians in Castilla needs to be revisited with more research. The somewhat questionable version by the early Premonstratensian historians (Bernardo de Leon, José Noriega, and Jaime Caresmar) is that two young men, Sancho Ansúrez from Valladolid and Domingo, the son of the Count of Candespina, went off to study in Paris where they heard about the life and activities of Saint Norbert. At some time before 1126 they presented themselves at Premontre to be admitted to the Order. After being sufficiently trained and mature in the religious life and spirituality of the Order, they were sent back to their native land in the north of Spain which was being taken back from the Moors during the Reconquest. The first two foundations in Castilla were Ribolo-Torta (Retuerta), founded in 1145 by Sancho, and Monte Sacro, founded in 1144 by Domingo. Monte Sacro was later moved by Domingo and renamed as la Vid in 1162. Most of the Premonstratensian abbeys were in the center- Northwest regions with none being in the southern regions of the peninsula which were liberated in the later Reconquest period. Abbeys founded between 1160 and 1170 were double foundations for both men and women.* B. Premonstratensian Beginnings (Aragón-Cataluńa): Marist Brother Eduardo Corredera relates that at the Council of Reims in 1148, Eugenio III asked some Christian princes to aid in the efforts of Ramón Berenguer IV of Barcelona to reconquer some cities in the Catalonian region from Moorish domination.

  • Set up of the Province
    Monday, September 30, 2019 Pro. No. 18.19 CIRCULAR LETTER To The Friars and Students of the Province And their respective addresses My dear brothers, Greetings of Peace and All Good! “SELF-EMPTYING (KENOSIS)” Though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be exploited. But emptied himself taking the form of a slave…” ( Phil 2, 6-7). Kenosis has profound significance in Christian theology. It refers to the very disposition of the triune God who is the communion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Kenosis, or self- emptying, is revealed in the Trinity. The Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century saw that God the Father, who is Love, completely empties God’s self into the Son; the Son empties into the Spirit; and the Spirit empties into the Father. Incarnation flows from this kenosis that is inherent to God’s nature. Jesus taught us to follow him down the path of humility, servant hood, and surrender. As Paul writes, “His state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God, but emptied himself, being born in human likeness” (Phil 2:6). Jesus’ entire life demonstrates how God loves unconditionally and selflessly. Although Paul’s message on kenosis was addressed to all Philippian Christians, it targeted particularly those with power and status within the community. Paul is directly telling them to exemplify servant hood by ‘giving space’ to others as Jesus did rather than holding on to power and privilege. Paul’s message obviously coheres with Jesus’ own teaching at the Last Supper: “You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am.
