In early January, Friars Manny Vasconcelos (Our Lady of the Angels Province (OLA), Mario Serrano (Our Lady of Consolation Province), Nick Romeo (OLA), and Bernard Fonkalsrud (St. Bonaventure Province) traveled to Salt Lake City for SEEK, the annual gathering of college students sponsored by FOCUS. The Vocation Directors hosted a booth and talked with many of the 17,000+ attendees.
Having this occasion to promote Vocations to the Order and our life of prayer, fraternity, and service, has been a wonderful experience, and a number of young, earnest, men have expressed an interest in learning more and even look forward to attending future 'Come & See' opportunities.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in discerning their vocation with the Conventual Franciscan Friars, a great place to begin is on our Vocation page. There are videos, podcast episodes, a flipbook,
– and most importantly, contact information for all of our Vocation Directors.
You can watch videos of the different homilies, keynotes, masterclasses, and more at SeekReplay.
