The USCCB asked some newly professed men and women religious to tell something about themselves that others might find surprising.  Their answers provide some insight to how each discovered their vocational call.  Congratulations to the Profession Class of 2016!

One of the Profession Class of 2016, listed in the article is our very  own  Friar Maximilian Avila, OFM Conv. (at right, as he and Friar Manny celebrated their 8-15-2016 Solemn Profession of Vows).
If you feel called to Conventual Franciscans, or if you want more information on our way of life, as you travel on your discernment journey, our Vocation Director is readily available to chat with you.
