On July 24 at San Lorenzo Friary in Santa Ynez, CA, 17 postulants were invested with the Capuchin habit and began their novitiate year.  Brother Brian Sullivan is a novice from our province.  He comes to us from St. Matthew Parish in Charlotte, NC.  Attending the investiture ceremony were Fr. Nick  (Provincial), Fr. Robert (Prefect of Formation) and Bro. Miguel (pre-novitiate team).  

Welcome, Brian, to our family of Capuchin Franciscans, Province of the Sacred Stigmata of St. Francis!
