You shall proclaim liberty in the land for its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you…
Leviticus 25:10

Most of our friends know that the friars love a good party. Every year, the friars in the Province of Our Lady of Consolation acknowledge their brothers who have reached threshold years in their profession of vows, and, in the case of the priest-friars, their ordination. Due to the pandemic and the transition in leadership, the friars had to forego jubilee celebrations in 2022, but on July 19th the friars will make up for lost time and celebrate profession and ordination anniversaries for over 30 of our friars. We will also gather to mark the first profession of vows of poverty, chastity and obedience of our novices. As you can see from the list below we will have many friars to celebrate with many wonderful stories to share. Please remember these friars as we draw attention to their many years of service to the Church and Order.
