🙏 Embracing the simplicity of our journey has been the greatest blessing on our path of faith. As a Capuchin Franciscan Religious Order, we find immense joy in getting to know those who are discerning their vocation. Through our "Come and See" retreats, we've witnessed the beauty of hearts seeking purpose, and fulfillment. From sharing our stories while making meals for the homeless to crafting simple rosaries for the poor, we've discovered that it's in these humble moments that God's beauty truly shines.

🌟 Our next "Come and See" retreat is just around the corner, and we're excited to extend a heartfelt invitation to all of you! If you are a man seeking to discover your vocation, join us from December 8th to 10th in Berkeley, CA, as we explore the depths of our faith, build lasting connections, and continue our mission to bring light to the world. Let's come together in the spirit of simplicity and service, as we seek God's purpose in our lives. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the beauty of a life devoted to love, compassion, and faith. 🕊️ #ComeAndSee #CapuchinFranciscans #SimpleJoy #BerkeleyRetreat

Lector Institution! The role of a Lector in the Ca

Lector Institution! The role of a Lector in the Capuchin Franciscan Order is a sacred one, embodying the teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi. This position, derived from the Latin word ‘legere’ meaning ‘to read’, goes beyond just reading scriptures during liturgy. A Lector is a living testament to the Gospel values, studying, meditating, and living the Word of God, sharing it with others. This role is a stepping stone towards priesthood, bestowed upon a friar after taking temporary vows. The journey to becoming a Lector involves rigorous study, preparation, and a formal rite of institution. As a Lector, the friar deepens his commitment to his vocation, ready to take on greater responsibilities within the community. This institution is a vital part of our mission to live and share the Gospel, playing a crucial role in the spiritual growth of our community and spreading Franciscan values. #CapuchinFranciscanOrder #LectorInstitution #LivingTheGospel

This weekend marked a milestone for our Capuchin F

This weekend marked a milestone for our Capuchin Franciscan family as our food van embarked on its inaugural journey. With the help of our food truck in Los Angeles and van in San Francisco, we were able to serve over 450 homeless individuals. All glory and praise to God for allowing us to serve His children in need.

Feeling blessed and inspired after a profound conversation with a group of young men about religious vocations at the Portiuncula, located in the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi. It was a joy to share the teachings and values of our Capuchin Franciscan Order, and to witness their curiosity and openness to the call of God. May the spirit of St. Francis guide them on their journey. #CapuchinFranciscans #VocationTalk #StFrancisOfAssisi #FaithJourney
