Fernández & FMA staff members – Reilly Gates and Joseph Hamilton – Director of Mission Advancement (below), our Minister Provincial, the Very Reverend Fr.

Collected over the course of three months through the Province Franciscan Mission Association (FMA) office, locted in Ellicott City, MD, these books were donated by friars, friaries, and ministries of our province, as well as friaries of other North American Franciscan Friars Conventual Provinces, and Diocesan friends of friars. The effort to collect books for the seminary in Ghana has exceeded our effort two years ago to collect books for the seminary in Sri Lanka.
