On Thursday, July 12th, five men were invested in the Conventual Franciscan habit. Investiture took place at St. Francis of Assisi Novitiate in Arroyo Grande, California. For a year and a day the novices will gain a deeper understanding of Conventual Franciscan life through prayer, in-house classes, and other activities including outside apostolates such as hospice, prison, and hospital ministries.
Please keep these men in prayer as well as all those who are discerning their vocation.
