Dear Friends,
May the Lord give you peace! Let me take this opportunity to wish you and all your loved ones peace, joy, good health, and every blessing for 2014.
We Friars Minor remember all those associated with with us in our prayers. As you read this you are remembered in a special way.
We ask you to pray for us, to pray for vocations to ‘The Franciscan Way of Life’ and to pray for those men who are presently training to be Franciscans, some preparing for 1st Profession, others for Solemn Profession and this year we have one man preparing for Ordination to the Priesthood within our Fraternity.
If you would like information on our Formation/Student programme please do not hesitate to contact me. I try to arrange week-ends for men who are seriously interested in ‘The Franciscan Way’ of life. At these week-ends men have an opportunity to meet with, pray with, and recreate with some of those who are in formation/ or training. 
Have a wonderful year and remember God is with you.
Fraternally,
Pat
