Les Frères Mineurs Capucins - Thanks to Inspiring Franciscan Community!

Dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings of peace to you all.

​It was a fraternal privilege to be at your service as the Regional spiritual assistant (RSA) of the Secular Franciscan Order (RFEC) for the last two years since August 2019.  I am deeply indebted to you all for your fraternal welcome, generous understanding and prayerful support in my role.  You are a joyful and inspiring Franciscan community!  I count it as a personal blessing to be amongst you, at least for this shorter period.

Last September, I was entrusted with the general leadership responsibility of my capuchin province in Québec and since, I was in consultation with the regional council and the first order communities to find a new face for this responsibility.

Some prayers are answered late, but better!  It is my immense pleasure to know that there is a new regional spiritual assistant for the OFS-regional fraternity of eastern Canada, from today onwards.  Let me extend a warm welcome to Br. Gerry Clyne, OFM to Montreal and to this new mission.  Knowing that he is the right person for this fraternal responsibility, I assure you all my prayerful support.

Peace and all good,

Bro. Benny Vincent, OFM cap.
Montréal, 02 sept. 2021.
