Some 800 Franciscans Friars in the USA? This is wonderful. God bless them all. May this number grow even more, God willing.
A young, good looking, media savy and charismatic friar like you is a perfect person to spread God's word and the Franciscan cause. God bless you.
Pray for me I also want to be Franciscan.

Perhaps if the Friars would wear their tunic(habit) the vocations would flourish. No, the habit does NOT make the Friar. However the habit identifies the Friar as a servant of God. The habit says to others, 'how may i serve you?' (See Phillipians 2:7-9) The habit is most excellent for evangelization. The habit is a sacramental and helps not only the Friar, but by example, assists others along their journey to holiness. Pax et bonum.
Totally agree, thank you Father!
a habit can help in advertising the order i
God bless the Franciscan order. I hope that this resolution will benefit you and your brothers.
Thanks!
Was great to catch a glimpse of Bro.Dan Horan. I noticed that a majority of Friars aren't our age but much older. Maybe your videos will inspire more to listen to their calling like I did. Will keep you all in my prayers
St Francis would have wanted it that way. Congratulations!
Oh my gosh Franciscan life is so funnnn ~~~
sydneylam19 I don't think so.
One year in the life of the Franciscans is a drop of water in a large and beautiful bucket. God bless and keep you and your brothers and may Saint Francis guide your future in the United States.
Thank you very much...wonderful news to the franciscan family. My hope and prayer is to see all three branches united as well.
I thank you for the time you give us, wonderful teaching tool.
Peace and good!
I was anxiously waiting for an answer since you tweeted the vote
This was an amazing witness. Congrats to all of you. May God's Will truly be done. Blessings.
Congratulations Brother! I think this is a great choice and also a challenge, but I hope all of you will walk through this path.
You all are in my prayers.
May you continue to live in the spirit of St. Francis!
Awesome Video Brother!
Keep it up! :-)
May God's blessings be upon you and all Our Franciscan Family!
So does this affect every franciscan order even in Canada toronto? Cuz in the church i go to theres a Friar who holds the healing masses and i love it i hope that doesnt change... But either way thank you for sharing this huge event i laughed out loud at 3:26 i thought i heard you say 'hurting cats'
No, this only affects the six provinces from the United States.
Some of these were kinda close
Congratulations!!! I’m sure St. Francis is rejoicing seen his U.S. brothers come together as one, as his first brothers in the 12th century. May God continúe blessing you and guide you through the Holy Spirit.
My favorite orders are Jesuits and Franciscans.
Saludos desde Venezuela .
venezolanoenperu - Que Dios te bendiga - saludos desde México.
And you are a great friar!
Just curious, which province do you belong to
EDIT: Should've waited till the end of the video :)
Me, a Protestant, who has no idea what's going on, when he's calling all of the votes 👁️👄👁️
God bless you all. We are praying for you.
It will be an interesting future for you and your brothers over the next years but we know it's really all in God's hands.
WHY am I watching this still? I love your videos, but let’s face it…this is inside stuff. But I can’t look away because you’re so excited, and now I want to know the outcome! I’m a hairdresser in Tennessee! LOL
Unity of the body!! Hallelujah praise God.
I WISH I CAN JOIN !!!!
We at St Francis of Assisi Parish in Spokane will never forget the Santa Barbara province who founded our parish. Unfortunately, we are soon to be given over to the Diocese in this resettlement.
almost 6 years after this joyful voting day, I wonder what happened since then
Loretta chapel franciscans ... Loretta chapel...
Congratulations to the fisrt step my brothers in the USA. God bless you all Franciscan friar in South Africa
Congratulations and good luck!
Very exciting...I knew the outcome and yet I was holding my breath for the final vote.
Hi! You Mentioned there are 7 provinces in the United States. But only six voted... Was there a province not represented? Great videos by the way!!
Yes, one province decided not to be a part of the process. They will remain independent.
Notification squad :)
So many Jedi Friars. 😂😂😂
dear brother Franciscans you are our inspiration .
⭐"So many friars of different Faiths." Interesting to say the least! Interview that Friar to elaborate on that statement please. Thank you kindly. God bless!⭐
M Bee it is an old joke among our friars. Apparently a provincial minister said it at a gathering many years ago, calling to attention how diverse the friars were, as if we were “different faiths.”
Breaking In the Habit -- I wasn't familiar with the joke, but my first thought was the rundown of all the different Franciscans, with different missions. They can seem so vastly different...yet they're all part of God's "workforce." One of my favorite Scripture verses says each person has a different role to play in the Church. It's a favorite because I'm a primary schoolteacher, so my role is to foster and encourage children to find theirs. I'll keep y'all in my prayers as you move forward, however slowly.
🌞There could be merit in what you call a joke. However from the older friar's tone & demeanor it is difficult to detect. I wonder if by "different faiths" could mean more. If that older friar could clarify his words but that is not to be. Prayers sent your way and for your noble Order to remain true sons of St. Francis of Asisi during these times when being Catholic can be *very* difficult in a faithless world!🌞
🌞Be careful Jonathan Tinnely. Calling a religious order out shouldn't be done lightly or by a lay person. Let Catholic theologians decide. Besides, do you not know, you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, neighbor? God bless.🌞
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, in whatever part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. The local people must understand what the missionary is saying to them. The missionary must get the Word right to the people! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yuriy Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language. This excellent book will give you answers how to correctly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book answers many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. Good luck with your important work!
It's 2021 now! Are you becoming one province in a few months?
Thank you
This doesn’t matter at all but I go to Siena College! I just missed you!
Not sure I understand the excitement about decreasing numbers?
Is it only capuchin franciscan? Or all the franciscan orders?
Does the Franciscan friars of the renewal share a part as well?
justin dominic No, this is only for the OFMs
Congratulations!!!
I will be there with you soon my brother's
I saw Viet Nam flag. I'm from Viet Nam
Are Franciscans "of our time" forward thinking in current issues such as Gay rights, Universal health care, etc? Thanks.
Missionaries are not social activists because it interferes with their work of proving that the religion and her spirituality are viable. For that you need Diocesan secular clergy.
The religious are trying to prove that Christianity works in fullness. Secular clergy often don't want to be burdened. Don't confuse the two.
I noticed that there were no other young friars beside yourself...will you be the last...?
What do you mean by "no other young friars?" There were quite a few guys in their 20s or 30s in this video.
Awesome! This proves that big changes are always a real possibility! And this lead me to this treacky question, brother... Do you think that, just as the big 7 provintials in the US come together as one, will be a day where all the 3 main franciscan orders (ofm, ofmcap, ofmconv) come together as a whole one Franciscan order? A really hard question isnt it? Hahaha God bless you, brother!
I think that is a much bigger question and I'm not sure. Honestly, I don't think so, and I'm fine with that. As long as we can collaborate and treat each other as brothers with a shared charism, I'm fine with three perspectives on the life of St. Francis.
Breaking In The Habit Interesting! Thank you, brother!
dwindling? so sad.....
looks life is on the high side, lots of food, looks like a resort
barry graham Lots of food...? This is a college campus not a resort.
hardly any young friars and I hardly see any person of color ?
Now you know why I devote so much of my time and energy to promoting vocations.
When you have a large number of French friars in one place, what are you missing??
Answer: A burger, some ketchup and a soda!!!
7 congregation of Franciscan OFM and the most important /I think: OFMConv and OFMCap/?
3:40 - "So many Friars of different faiths." And they wonder why their numbers are dwindling.
Does this affect capuchins?
No, this is only for the OFMs in the United States.
Brother Casey, what is OFM? Thank you so much for what you do! God bless you always.
Are this all Capuchin provinces?
Iris Ramirez no, we are not Capuchins, we are OFMs (minors)
We're the Franciscans doing something bad? You said a day that will "live on in infamy" do you know what that means? Infamy is something notoriously bad. You seem to think the quote from FDR about infamy means a famous day but rather it means to be remembered for its evil happenings. How can I say this nicely. Think before you post. Your "enthusiasm" would be better received if it were backed by knowledge.
How come St Bonaventure providence isn’t in there? Or did I miss something? BTW I love your vids! God Bless and keep them coming!
Kimberly Huster Not sure what province that is. It must be a different type of Franciscan. This video is about the OFMs. Maybe the province you know is of Capuchins or Conventuals.
Breaking In The Habit - Thats right! They are Conventional. I’ll have to watch your other video again about what the different is! Thanks
