  • 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 Manual for Assistance to the SFO and to the Franciscan Youth
    Conference of the General Spiritual Assistants OFS-YouFra M A N U A L for assistance to the OFS and to the Franciscan Youth Rome, 2006 / 2012 PREMISE Conference of the Ministers General of the Franciscan First Order and TOR From the beginning, the charism of Francis and Clare of Assisi has fascinated men and women who, even in diverse states of life, have followed their example to bring the Gospel of Christ to the world. These have always constituted a single Family that, through the centuries, has known how to maintain among its members solid links of collaboration and has always offered reciprocal support. Moreover, belonging to this Family has been constantly guaranteed by the strong sense of communion, by sharing the same ideals and deepest aspirations, by the acknowledgment of being included in one and the same call to live the gospel life according to a properly Franciscan style. One of the instruments that has strongly contributed to keeping alive this profound unity of the Franciscan identity in its three Orders is certainly that of spiritual and pastoral assistance of the OFS, entrusted by the Church to the Franciscan First Order and to the TOR. This mandate, which every Friar has received in regard to their secular Brothers and Sisters, in order to be better guaranteed, is always carried out by some in particular, the spiritual Assistants, those most personally committed so that all, in “life-giving union”, may proceed towards the fullness of life to which the Lord has called us. It is a matter of a great responsibility because the spiritual Assistant, offering his or her own contribution especially in the area of formation, helps the Brothers and Sisters of the OFS to grow in fidelity to the unique Franciscan charism, in communion with the Church and in union with the entire Franciscan Family.

Retiring Bishop of Nelson, John Corriveau, OFM Cap.Lincoln Ho, Grandin Media “This means as evangelizers, we need to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and to use the gifts that we have been given, in order to fulfill our mission to evangelize. This way we can introduce the world to Christ and bring to everyone you meet, the joy of the Gospel.” ‘Bishop Greg’ served as Auxiliary Bishop of Edmonton – his hometown – for nearly six years before his appointment as the new Bishop of Nelson, succeeding Most Rev. John Corriveau who is retiring. His appointment included ceremonies at the Immaculate Conception Church in Kelowna on April 25, and at the Cathedral of Mary Immaculate in Nelson on April 26. In the elaborate ceremony, the church was filled with 20 bishops, rows of clergy, women religious and the Catholic faithful, friends and family. After knocking on the door of the church to enter as the new bishop, Bishop Bittman was welcomed into his new diocese. He said his priority to get to know the Diocese of Nelson and to have the community get to know him.
