Five Novices were invested in the habit of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual on July 12, 2025. Investiture took place at St. Francis of Assisi Novitiate in Arroyo Grande, California. Minister Provincial of the Our Lady of Consolation Province, Fr. Martin Day, presided.
The Franciscan habits were blessed, and then the men were invested by their respective Ministers Provincials. The friars welcomed and congratulated each new Novice.
Please keep our Novices in prayer as they begin their ‘year-and-a-day’ deep dive into Franciscan vocation.
