Franciscan Friars Province of the Immaculate Conception

Provincial Update - February 2021

Dear Brothers, If you went to Catholic school, you probably have a lot of memories that center around Lent.  Years ago, in many Catholic parochial schools, Lent meant daily Mass, Stations of the Cross on Friday, and special prayers and devotions.  Of course, always a part of Lent was doing penance, in particular giving up something.  The most popular thing was candy.  Eating candy

was a big part of our lives and to give up candy was a big deal.  Sometimes someone would want to go one better…maybe give up lunch.   Or, out of the realm of food- give up going to the movies, or watching television.  It seemed almost to be a sport to see who was giving up the most- and then, of course, to see if that person would make it through the entire season of Lent without  giving up on their penance. In the seminary, we had similar practices centering around food.  One year, our superiors decided that we wouldn’t eat any meat at all during Lent- even on Sundays.   That was a very trying and difficult Lent- and many of us found it too difficult.  We couldn’t resist a side trip to McDonald’s or Kentucky Fried Chicken. Another time, some of our non-Italian classmates suggested that we should give up pasta for Lent.  That was another difficult one which didn’t last very long.   Later on we gave up other things- drinking alcoholic beverages, or sodas, or giving up smoking, if we were smokers.   Although such penances and sacrifices have their place in Lent- and, as a matter of fact, in our Catholic faith itself, we have to realize that they are not the essence of Lent.    After all, Lent is a time for us to have a change of heart-  a “metanoia”, to change the way we live our lives, to grow closer to God, to become holier.  And I wondered whether giving up candy really achieved that purpose. Lent is a time when we are called to introspect, to examine our lives, to look at our values, and to change them- or at least begin to change them.  We are called to look at the life of Christ as a model, to compare His life with our own- and have a change that affects the very depths of our being.  It is not a superficial change- but rather change the way we look at things.   Anyone who has been on a diet knows that you can change what you eat and be pretty successful, but the reason so many people have little success with diets, is that we have to change the very reasons why we eat- our very attitudes toward food.  We use food to reward ourselves, to console ourselves, even to punish ourselves.   So, my thinking is this.  If we, as adults, are still in the “giving up candy” stage for Lent, we’re missing the boat completely.  Eat all the  candy you want- or pasta, or whatever it is that you usually give up-  but do something that will make you holier.  What do the scriptures say?  “Clothe the naked, give food to the hungry, visit the sick, comfort those who are mourning.  Remove from your midst oppression, false accusation, malicious speech.  Give bread to the hungry.”  God spoke through Isaiah:  “this is the fast that I wish:  releasing those bound unjustly, setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke, sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless, clothing the naked, not turning your back on  your own.” (Is. 58:6) Happy Lent, brothers.   Fraternally,

News from the Convento San Francesco, Rome Post Novitiate Program

Greetings brothers, from Convento San Francesco in Rome.   We hope that everyone is very well, starting this new year full of hope and trust in the Father of Mercies.   These have been very good days notwithstanding the complex situation that we live in. On January 19th we celebrated our brother Daniel Luna's birthday, with a delicious lunch prepared, as you well know, by our excellent cook Daniela.   These have also been days of a lot of study, since we began exams on January 25th and we will finish by the second half of February. Everyone has done their best and it has paid off.    We were also blessed to participate in Mass with Pope Francis, on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Due to the pandemic, only Fr. Oscar Valle, Fr. Daniel Luna and I (Fr. Marco Gómez) were able to attend.   We would like to take the opportunity to thank each of the fraternities of our province. Thank you for accompanying our formative journey with your help and prayers and also we thank in a special way those who thought of sending us a donation as a present for Christmas. May God reward you brothers. To all our brothers, you are always in our prayers and we ask that you always have us in yours. God bless you, Peace and good.   Fr. Marco Antonio Gómez

Friars Oscar Valle, Daniel Luna, and Marco Gomez Attend World Day for Consecrated Life Mass at the Vatican February 2, 2021  Christian hope is rooted in the knowledge that God is patient with all his children, even when they stray from the path set before them, Pope Francis told consecrated men and women. Celebrating the World Day for Consecrated Life Feb. 2, the pope told women and men religious that God's love is "not weighed in the balance of our human calculations, but unstintingly gives us the courage to start anew." "This is the reason for our hope: that God never tires of waiting for us," he said. "When we turn away, he comes looking for us; when we fall, he lifts us to our feet; when we return to him after losing our way, he waits for us with open arms." About 150 religious men and women, all wearing masks, were in the socially distanced congregation for the celebration of Candlemas — the feast of the Presentation of the Lord — which also marks the Vatican celebration of the World Day for Consecrated Life. Led by several candle-bearing acolytes, Francis processed toward the Altar of the Chair in a darkened St. Peter's Basilica, faintly lit by the congregation's candles as the choir proclaimed in song, "O radiant light, eternal splendor of the Father, Christ the Lord immortal." In his homily at the Mass with religious, the pope reflected on the example of the elderly Simeon, who "patiently awaited the fulfilment of the Lord's promises" and the coming of the Messiah. Simeon, he said, learned that God "does not come in extraordinary events," nor did he "grow weary with the passage of time" and lose hope. "He trusted in the promise and did not let himself be consumed by regret for times past or by the sense of despondency that can come as we approach the twilight of our lives," the pope said. This exemplary patience, he continued, was "born of prayer and the history of his people" who had always experienced a merciful God that remained patient for centuries, "even in the face of rejection and infidelity." "The patience of Simeon is thus a mirror of God's own patience," the pope said. "From prayer and the history of his people, Simeon had learned that God is indeed patient."

Pope Francis Marks the 600th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Commissars of the Holy Land ‌

On the sixth centenary of the establishment of the Commissars of the Holy Land on 14 February 1421, by Pope Martin V, the Holy Father has sent a signed letter to the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr. Francesco Patton, to “support and bless this precious service.” Fr. Patton replied to Pope Francis’ message, dated February 2, the next day, in which he informed the Holy Father of the intention to celebrate a Mass at the Edicule of the Sepulchre in Jerusalem on February 15 at 6.30 in the morning, in memory of all the benefactors and to give thanks for the work of the Commissars. On that occasion, the Custos will read the signed message from the Holy Father and all the friars will offer special prayers for Pope Francis and for His ministry. “We thank you most sincerely for your words of confirmation and encouragement,” Fr. Patton wrote. “Thank you for your support and for your blessing. We also thank you for all the support you give us through the Congregation for the Oriental Churches and its Prefect, His Eminence Cardinal Leonardo Sandri. Expressing all our gratitude to you, we wish to show you once again our filial affection and our obedience with our most devoted feelings.” Pope Francis’  letter is shown below: The Vatican, 2 February 2021 Dear Brother, Next 14 February will be the 600th anniversary of the establishment of the Commissars of the Holy Land by Pope Martin V. After all these centuries, the mission of the Commissars is still topical: to support, promote and develop the mission of the Custody of the Holy Land, making possible a network of ecclesiastical, spiritual and charitable relations that have as their focal point the land where Jesus lived. I support and bless this precious service and I hope that it can increasingly be a seed of fraternity. I bless all with my heart and, please do not forget to pray for me.   Fraternally, Francis The Commissaries: Ambassadors of the Holy Land for 600 years 09 February 2021 THE CUSTODY IN THE WORLD On 14 February 1421, Pope Martin V issued his bull "His quae pro ecclesiasticarum" which became the birth certificate of the Commissariats of the Holy Land. Six hundred years later, on 14 February 2021, the Custody of the Holy Land and the 67 Commissariats of the Holy Land will celebrate this anniversary with Eucharistic celebrations for the benefactors of the Holy Land on 15 February. Two friars of our own province, Friars Matthew DeBenedictis and Romano Almagno, served as Commissaries of the Holy Land in Washington, D.C.   From lay procurators to Franciscan Commissaries The term "Commissar" appears to come from the juridical terminology of the Most Serene Republic of Venice, with which the Custody had relations thanks to the trading routes between the Republic and the ancient port of Jaffa. The commissar was and is the person who is the “general curator” of the interests of an institution or of a person. "The Commissariats were not established six hundred years ago by chance,” says Fr. Marcelo Ariel Cichinelli, the Custody’s delegate for the Commissariats of the Holy Land. "History situates their creation during a hard period for the life of the Custody when strong support was needed for the mission in the Holy Land." Well aware that they could not be all over the world at the same time and having to live through the upheavals brought about by the Protestant reform, in which two of the central themes were alms and poverty, the Franciscans initially gave laymen the responsibility for “procuring” economic support for the Holy Land. This was how the figure of the Procurator, the forerunner of the commissar, came into being. The first layman appointed is mentioned in documents dating back to 1392, and was the merchant Ruggero Contarini, assisted by his brother, first, and then by his nephew. Close to Fr. Gerard Chauvet, who then became Custos of the Holy Land (1387/1388-1398), Contarini was appointed "procurator for the territory of the Republic of Venice,” and corresponded intensely with Chauvet and with his successor, Fr. Jean de Rochefort. The time had come for the Franciscan Order to officially approve the role of these laymen. This is why Pope Martin V, in a bull called "Salutare Studium", specified with reference to the Procurators of the Holy Land that the Constitutions, the apostolic ordinances, the by-laws, the customs of the Order, including any oath or apostolic confirmation whatsoever, should not be of impediment to the regular performance of this work and this was exactly what happened. Supported by the two Papal bulls, over the centuries, laymen were gradually replaced by Franciscan friars, and today all the Commissaries of the Holy Land are religiously appointed by their territorial superior, after having consulted the Custos of the Holy Land.   The spread of the Commissariats in the world It is very difficult to identify an exact chronology of when the commissariats were established, especially the European ones which are recognized as the oldest. We know, for example, that the commissariats of Naples, Paris, and Vienna, were founded in the first half of the 17thcentury. Even more surprising, but which proves the international nature and the vitality of the Order of St Francis, was the work of the Kingdoms of Spain and Portugal. We owe the creation of commissariats in Mexico City, Lima, Cartagena, Quito, and Buenos Aires, at the end of the 16th century, shortly after those of Madrid and Santiago de Compostela, to the Spanish crown. The Portuguese crown, after the foundation of the commissariat of Lisbon, also supported the foundation of the Commissariats-General of Ouro Preto, Salvador de Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. The commissaries then took on the function of "ambassadors" of the Holy Places, also organizing pilgrimages, but they also did more: they served the interests of the whole Order. For example, it was thanks to the creation of a commissariat in Paris that the Franciscans could return there after the expulsion of all the religious in 1880. The foundation of a Commissariat in the United States based in Washington DC (1882) and in Canada in Trois Rivières (1888), created by the Blessed Fr. Frédéric Janssoone, also dates back to the same period.  From the very beginning, the mission of the Commissariats has been essential: they have represented a bridge between the mission of the Holy Land and the local churches. They are natural channels, established and encouraged not only by the Franciscan Order but by the Church itself, which reasserts the importance of the support for the Holy Land with the "Collecta pro Locis Sanctis" established by Pope Leo XIII on 26 December 1887 and repeated every year on Good Friday.   Celebrating the 600 years of the Commissariats "Despite the despondent period we are in, 600 years later the Custody wants to celebrate this institution and thank God and the Church for the creation and the support for these bodies,” emphasizes Fr. Marcelo. This goal in time has allowed the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr. Francesco Patton to promote a time of prayer for the commissaries but, even more, for thebenefactors, because each one, within their possibilities, was the expression of Divine Providence. "This celebration also lets us relaunch the figure of the Commissaries,” continues Fr. Cichinelli." We want to communicate to the world that we are not fixed in the past, but this figure has evolved, following the times and they meet regularly at the conferences of the Commissaries (the last one was held in 2018) to continue being more and more efficient in their work of animation.”

Transitions Our brother, Philip Pacheco,at his own request, has received the rescript "Dispensatio ab Oneribus Ordinationi Conexis", on January 23, 2021 from our Holy Father Pope Francis. This dispensation releases Philip from all the obligations connected to the Sacred Priesthood as well as his vows as a Franciscan. We wish Phil well and keep him in our prayers.

Amedeo Nardone, O.F.M. Biography Benedetto Nardone was born the youngest of six children to Maria Giuseppa Pittiglio and Alessandro Nardone, on November 18, 1942 in Cassino (Frosinone), Italy. After completing elementary school in his home village of Caira, he entered the Seraphic College of the Franciscan Friars Minor in Tocco Casauria (Abbruzzo) in October, 1955. On October 1, 1959 he was invested with the habit of St. Francis in the Covent of Orsogna(CH).  Being received in the Order of Friars Minor, he was given the religious name of Amedeo.  On completion of novitiate, he professed temporary vows on November 4, 1960. Fr. Amedeo completed his classical studies in the House of Philosophy in San Giuliano (L’Aquila).  In 1964 he began his theological studies in Lanciano (CH) where he professed solemn vows on November 4, 1965.  He was ordained a priest there by Bishop Perantoni, O.F.M. on July 1, 1968. Fr. Amedeo was assigned to the Convento San Francesco in Balsorano (AQ) working immediately in the parish community and becoming pastor from 1972 to 1975 at Chiesa Santa Trinità He arrived in the parish of the Immaculate Conception in Toronto at Christmas, 1977. From 1979 to 1989, Fr. Amedeo completed his academic career in Modern Languages and Literature at the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts (1983), Master of Arts (1985), and Master of Philosophy (1989). He served as assistant pastor of Immaculate Conception for 15 years, before being appointed its Pastor on September 1, 1992, a position he held until February, 2003, when he was appointed pastor of St. Jane Frances Parish until his retirement in 2018 when he celebrated his 50th priestly ordination anniversary. He was in residence in the same parish but never ceased his ministry which he loved and kept on serving the parish needs, as the very words of Monsignor John Iverinci attest referring to the words that Saint Paul wrote to Timothy: “ ‘You are a man of God who seeks piety, charity, and sweetness for all, and you fight the good battle of faith.’  This has sustained you for all these 50 years of priesthood, especially today when a certain crisis of faith pervades all and you continue to spread the Word of God and to be a support for us priests and an attentive pastor, a faithful humble son of St. Francis of Assisi, but above all a witness of Jesus Christ, as the great Pope St. Paul VI said, ‘The world today does not need teachers but witnesses,’ and you dear Fr. Amedeo are all of these. The Lord bless you with his gifts and grant you many and many years still of fruitful priestly service.” For the past 44 years, Fr. Amedeo did his best to animate the Italo-Canadian community through all sorts of activities, especially the traditions of feasts, pilgrimages, and gatherings taking the opportunity to proclaim the Christian values and the teachings of the Word of God. He had at heart the Italian Pastoral Commission (IPC) making sure to gather regularly the Italian priests who together organized the functions for the laity. The past twelve years have been difficult for him health wise, but he never gave up. At the end of July last year, he was taken to the Humber River hospital and never returned to the friary. Moving on to rehabilitation in Church Street during the month of August and in September was transferred to Providence Villa in Scarborough. Due to the pandemic times that we are living, visitation was limited but he never ceased in his interest in the parish and in contact with family and friends through phone calls. In early afternoon on February 20th, he entered into eternal life, but his legacy will remain with us for he, through his ministry has touched and helped many. We are grateful to God for his good example as family member, friar-priest, pastor, and friend. May God have mercy on him and grant him the reward of eternal life. Fr. Charles Michael Grech ofm Pastor St. Jane Frances de Chantal Parish

Scenes from Around the Province Windows from St. Francis Seraphic Seminary, Andover, Installed at St. Christopher Friary, Boston The stained glass windows were placed in storage at Wappingers Falls after having been removed from St. Francis, Andover prior to demolition. The larger windows of the Blessed Mother, St. Francis, and St. Anthony, as well as the smaller coat of arms of the order, the Deus Meus et Ommia [sic.], ( note spelling on window) and the stigmata, are all parts of the original chapel windows at St. Francis. The Francis and Clare windows with portions of the Canticle and Letter to Agnes, are later additions commissioned by John Bavaro. The stained glass studio who restored the windows and created frames for them is Martino Stained Glass, who was responsible for the restoration of the windows at St. Leonard’s. Having received permission from the provincial, we chose the windows we wished to use and transported them to the studio. The windows have been preserved in such a fashion that they can easily be moved to another building. Three large panels remain in storage featuring Christ the King, St. Bonaventure, and Blessed John Duns Scotus.
