Celebrating Community
During Community Week, the friars traveled to Nazareth House in Los Angeles to participate in the residents' Mass along with five of our friars who are residents there.

Celebrating Community

During the first week of July, Saint Joseph Cupertino Province celebrated their annual Community Week. It’s a time for the friars to gather for Continuing Education, celebrate anniversaries, and spend time in fraternity.

Bishop Matthew Elshoff, OFM Cap, one of the new auxiliaries for the Los Angeles Archdiocese, gave a presentation on the 800th Anniversary of St. Francis’ Stigmata. Father Anh Nhue, OFM Conv, who resides in Rome, made a presentation via Zoom also on this topic.
