On July 5, the beginning of the common novitiate of the Custodies of Mexico and Texas and of North of Mexico took place. The formation community of Tres Ojitos, Chihuahua welcomes this community composed of four brothers from both circumscriptions who will accompany the novices.

As every year we met Capuchin brothers of the two custodians of Mexico, to reflect on the writings of St. Francis of Assisi. The House of Prayer of Padre Pio, located in Puebla, has been the ideal space for this meeting, held on June 22-29.

Gathered in fraternity the Franciscan Family of Mexico met from June 18 to 20 in San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco. In a meeting in which all the obedience of the Franciscan Order, the Franciscan Sisters of Jesus Crucified, the Franciscan Missionaries of Guadalupe, the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Peace, participated with enthusiasm and joy.

From January 8 to 12, 2018 the Capuchin Minor Brothers of the Provincial Custody of Mexico and Texas will celebrate our III Ordinary Chapter.
