On July 5 at the Franciscan House of Studies on Chicago’s North Side, we welcomed six men into the Conventual Franciscan Postulancy Program.
Postulancy is a year of initial formation, designed to help men discern a vocation in the Conventual Franciscan Order. While living in community, postulants study Franciscan history and spirituality, spend time in daily Mass and prayer, and serve in various ministries in the Chicago area.
Please keep the postulants and their directors in prayer as they journey together through the next year.
