On July 4th, our fraternity of the Capuchin Younger Brothers was dressed up for a party and thanksgiving. With a heart overflowing with joy, we witnessed how the Lord continues to call and support young people willing to live the form of the Holy Gospel in our lands of Mexico and Texas.
In an atmosphere of deep gratitude, joy and evangelical simplicity, the community of La Piedad opened its doors and its heart to celebrate a very special milestone: the XXV years of Consecrated Life of our dear brother Tomás, OFMCap.
Every July, the spiritual family inspired by the Capuchin Reformation stops to celebrate their history, identity and mission. The Capuchin Family Day is traditionally celebrated on July 3, coinciding with the date of the Pontifical Bull Religionis Zelus of 1528, which marked the official approval of our Reform.
From June 8 to 12, the Capuchin Younger Brothers of Mexico and Texas met at the Padre Pío House of Prayer. We have carried out the training in charisma focused on the VIII centenary of the death of San Francisco, accompanied by brother Marcos Alejandro Quesada Navarro, OFMConv.
On may 31, we celebrate the presbyteral ordination of our brothers Carlos Pech, Juan Pérez, and Roberto García.
The Order of Minor Capuchin Brothers joins with reverent hearts Pope Francis and the entire Church in the celebration of the Holy Year of Jubilee 2025
