Br. Pio Francis Makes His Profession into The Third Order of St. Francis!

My friends in Christ, I have great news! Earlier today, Br. Pio Francis made his perpetual profession into the Third Order Secular of St. Francis! He is now a Franciscan and will be so for the rest of his life! May he grow ever faithful to the Rule and use it as the means of his sanctification and salvation. Congratulations, Frater. And thank you Fr. Mery (our Fr. Director) for taking care of us.

Please pray that Our Lord, through the intercession of St. Francis and by the graces at the disposal of Our Lady, may grant us the profession of at least two more novices within the next few months. If this happens, we can canonically start our own Fraternity, which will be called "The Franciscan Third Order of The Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary".

May God bless you and all those who have responded privately for their kind and charitable words.

I and the rest of our novices will especially count on the powerful prayers you offer for us now and in the future. God's peace be your reward in this life and in eternity! Pax vobiscum.
