Yesterday, the Postulants were received into the Franciscan Interprovincial Novitiate in Burlington, Wisconsin. Br. Abel Garcia, Br. Daniel Beckham, Br. Javier del Angel, and Br. Christian Seno, OFM, will spend the next year with novices from all over the United States, Canada, and Ireland as they continue on their journey to become Franciscan Friars.
Since Br. Abel, Br. Daniel, Br. Javier, and Br. Christian are no longer postulants, this will be their last entry on this page. New postulants will update the page when they are received into the Postulancy of the Franciscans of Holy Name Province on August 26th, 2014!
To see what the new Franciscan novices are up to, please check out the Franciscan Interprovincial Novitiate's page at: https://www.facebook.com/FranciscanNovitiateBurlington
Many thanks to all who have followed us on our journey for the past year. Please keep us and our brothers in your prayers. God Bless!
