Brother Lijoy Chiriyankandath Jose

Happy Friar Friday! Today we introduce you to Brother Lijoy Chiriyankandath Jose. He is a formator in our Order. This means he is a teacher to our novices and seminarians! He has been a friar for 25 Years.

Br. Lijoy is orginically from India and currently lives at the St. Conrad Friary in Berkeley CA. He knew he wanted to be a friar at the age 15 right after he finished high school!

He is a happy Capuchin who enjoys early mornings and prayerful meditation. When he is not teaching, Br. Lijoy loves to take photographs, travel, listen to music and watch movies!
