Welcome to our 12 Newest Conventual Francsicans! On July 19, 2017 in our chapel at St. Francis Friary in Arroyo Grande, CA, our current 6 Novices were sent back to their respective provinces, and our 12 postulants, after completing their postulant year in Chicago, received the habit and began their Novitiate Year. Please keep these men in your prayers, and enjoy the short (1 minute 28 second) slideshow of the ceremony. You may view more of the ceremony (3 minute 21 seconds) at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4syTKOaS-AM&t=2s
