During the Summer Break from studies, the student friars of our province spend time in our varied ministries. In late May, friar Raad Eshoo, OFM Conv. was welcomed by our friars residing in St. Philip Benizi Friary, in Jonesboro, GA, where he will spend time assisting at the parish, until he returns to his studies. This morning, friar Raad joined Fr. John Koziol, OFM Conv. (Pastor – St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church & 2022-2026 Province Definitor) and the parishioners present, in Morning Prayers before Mass. He then presented a reflection on prayer, during Morning Mass.
“Keep listening to God’s Voice in your life.”

In 2020, friar Raad spent the Summer Break with our friars in Syracuse, NY.
