Friday, May 1, 2015: Frei (Friar) Paulo Fernando Vicente, OFM Conv. was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Elias Manning. OFM Conv., Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Valença, Brazil. The ordination took place in Frei Paulo’s home parish of Nossa Senhora da Gloria in Simão Pereira. With this ordination, the friars of the Custody have ordained three men this year, and there are still two ordinations yet to come. Our prayers for increased vocations are working – thanks be to God.
May the Province of Our Lady of the Angels also receive such a great blessing.
