In 2026, we joyfully mark a century of faith, service, and fraternity as the Conventual Franciscan Friars celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Province of Our Lady of Consolation.
For 100 years, our friars have walked alongside God’s people—offering prayer, compassion, and service in communities across the United States and around the world. This milestone honors the legacy of those who came before us and celebrates the many lives touched by our ministries.
We invite you to join us for one or more of our 100th Anniversary Celebration Events taking place throughout the year in locations where our friars have made a lasting impact. These gatherings will include Masses, fellowship, reflection, and opportunities to connect with the friars and friends of the Province.
Whether or not you are able to attend in person, know that you are a vital part of this celebration. Throughout the year, we as a Province—and as a larger Franciscan family—will be lifting up this milestone in prayer, thanksgiving, and joyful remembrance. This is a celebration for all of us.
Whether you are a longtime supporter, former student, retreatant, or friend—we’d love to celebrate with you.
