Every year, our Province fraternities take time in October to celebrate the friars whose commitment and faithfulness mark an impotant milestone. Our "Provincial Jubilees" recognize the men who have been faithful in following the Lord's call to life and ministry in his name.
This year's celebrationg took place in Allison Park, PA's St. Catherine of Sweden parish, while our own "home" church in Lawrenceville, is undergoing renovation and expansion of our mother house property. John Daya, OFM Cap., pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Philadelphia, PA, celebrating 40 years of life as a priest friar, served as homilist, while Bob Herrick, OFM Cap., celebrated his 40th anniversary of life as a Capuchin by leading the gathering in prayerful song. Our Provincial Minister, Tom Betz, OFM Cap., served as celebrant.
