Friar Friday – Fr. Miguel Angel Ortiz

Happy #FriarFriday! Today we introduce you to Fr. Miguel Angel Ortiz! He is our Provincial Secretary and has a Friar for 44 years. He is originally from San Jose, California and now lives at St. Francis of Assisi Friary in Burlingame, CA.

Fr. Miguel knew he wanted to join the order in 1976. He is “blessed among women”, as he has 4 sisters and no brothers!! His favorite time of day is anytime, he lives in the now, and that sure is a great reminder for us all.

A favorite prayer of Fr. Miguel is “I Love you”. When I breathe in God fills me with His love. When I breathe out I Love God back. When he isn’t praying, Fr. Miguel can be found watching good movies!

We cannot thank Father Miguel enough for all he does for our Order!!
