All the provinces of the order, indeed all religious orders of the church, are seeing the same challenges. Although our own province has been blessed with vocations, as I am experiencing now as I visit the Convento San Francesco in Rome, many provinces are facing a severe vocations crisis.  More and more, our diminished populations, coupled with aging and infirm friars as well as deaths are forcing us to make some very difficult decisions about our current situation and the future. Although there are some provinces in the order that are experiencing some growth, this unfortunately is not the experience of most of the provinces in Europe and in North America.

The Pentecost letter from the Minister General, written while he is in Mexico celebrating the five hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the first friars there in 1524, makes note that as an order we are at a crossroads which will determine our direction for the future. If you read the report of our Chapter of Mats, which just concluded last week, you will see similar comments.  It states pretty emphatically that we must seek in the future to look at how we can, pardon the expression, take off the old and put on the new as far as the challenges which await us.  The statement of the Chapter is that we need to make some big changes, some drastic changes, and this will affect all of us in many ways. This is the duty and the challenge for all of us as well as for the younger friars who are coming from our formation program. We may ask ourselves what will our Province look like in 10 years or 20 years or 30 years. We certainly don’t enjoy seeing such a diminishment of the order, or of religious life as a whole, or the possibility that we may even cease to exist in some countries. However, this presents a great challenge for us to see our calling in a different way and a challenge to reform our lives. 

That’s the meaning of Pentecost, which we just celebrated on Sunday. Pope Francis reminds us of this during his homily on the Solemnity of Pentecost on Sunday in the Vatican, marking the end of the Easter Season.

He recognized the “winding and uphill path toward peace, fraternity, and solidarity,” but reassured that "we are not alone," and that with the help of the Holy Spirit and His gifts, we can walk together and make that path more and more inviting for others as well.

With this sentiment, Pope Francis concluded by inviting all of us to renew our faith in the presence of the Holy Spirit, Who is at our side and comforts us, "to enlighten our minds, fill our hearts with grace, guide our steps and grant our world peace."

Certainly, just as the Holy Spirit moved the first apostles and disciples to go out and preach the gospel beyond their boundaries beyond their limits, so too, in the future, we will successfully meet this challenge. If not, we will suffer the consequences. 

For me personally I believe that the Holy Spirit will always guide us to what is true and what is right and that we as followers of Saint Francis will see the universal call and appeal of the life of the Poverello.

Wishing all of you blessings and peace. 

News from the Convento San Francesco

Greetings from the Convent of St. Francis in Rome. We are at the end of the semester and have started preparing for exams. We are happy because, thank God, another academic year is coming to an end. During this period, we participated in the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first World Youth Day organized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. The celebration was led by the Shalom community. This activity was held in two parts: a procession with the cross around St. Peter's Square, followed by a Mass in the St. Lawrence Center and then a time of fraternity.

On the other hand, the Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus invited us to celebrate Easter together. We had the opportunity to participate in Holy Mass and then, an amazing, Latin-American dinner. It was a very pleasant and joyful time.

May is the month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and as a fraternity we were invited by Fr. Agnello, pastor of St. Peter's, to provide liturgical service every Wednesday. The activity consists of a procession inside St. Peter's Basilica, where we visit the altars dedicated to the different titles of the Virgin Mary and experienced a moment of prayer.

In the city of Naples, we participated in the liquefaction of the blood of San Gennaro, a prodigious event that takes place three times a year. The friars of Saint Clare’s very generously invited us to participate in this event. First there was a procession from the Cathedral of the Assumption to the Basilica of Saint Clare. There, the Holy Mass was celebrated and presided over by the Archbishop of Naples, Domenico Battaglia, who once again invoked the protection of St. Gennaro for the city of Naples and for all those who participated in the celebration.

We thank you all for your support and prayers and we truly look forward to being with any of you during our summer assignments and perhaps even some of us, at Dan and Jack’s Solemn Profession. May God continue to bless you all in special ways.

Fraternally,

 Br Gabriel Rojas Mendieta ofm

Provincial Retreat/ Guardians

Workshop- May 7-10, 2024

Our provincial retreat was held on May 7-10 at Wappingers Falls, New York. It was attended by about 30 friars and Fr. Brad Milunski, O.F.M.Conv. was the Retreat Director. During the retreat a Guardians Workship was also held. This was coordinated by Friars Rick Martignetti and Michael Dominic. It was important that we take time to stop our activity and go off for a time of prayer, renewal, and reflection. The provincial retreat offered opportunities to reflect on our life as friars and as Christians. There was ample opportunity for social interaction. The provincial minister and definitiorium requested that every effort be made by all the friars to join them in attending the provincial retreat. The retreat began on Tuesday at 11:00 AM with prayer and an opening session. The retreat ended on Friday afternoon. Those attending the provincial Chapter of Mats remained until Saturday afternoon.

Provincial Chapter of Mats

Mount Alvernia Retreat Center

Wappingers Falls NY

May 11, 2024

The Chapter of Mats 2024 was the culmination of a process that began in the fall of 2023 with focus groups from among the four regions in the US and Canada of the province- Toronto, Boston, NYC, and Upstate NY and CT. During this process 36 Secular Franciscans, 36 solemnly professed friars, three simply professed friars, one postulant, three Franciscan religious sisters, and two Poor Clare nuns took part. The same facilitator was present during all the meetings and the Chapter, and the same process was used in each region.

The Process

Regional

During the regional meetings three (3) one-hour sessions were held by each of two groups, one with friars only, the other of seculars and sisters. The themes for the sessions were: Renewing Our Vision; Walking in a Particular Style; and Embracing the Future. Each group elicited concepts from the themes and was asked to assess aspects of these themes and then do a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis on each concept. After a break, the two groups joined together to share their analyses and find commonalities and differences. Some of the more important concepts were then highlighted. All these findings are included in the appendices.

Provincial

 The provincial level Chapter of Mats was held in conjunction with a retreat for the friars. The meeting with 34 friars, plus 17 seculars, sisters, and nuns took place on Saturday, May 11 at the conclusion of the retreat. This “mega session” of the Chapter process began with Mass celebrated by Robert Campagan, OFM-provincial minister with a homily based upon a Franciscan theme by Rick Martignetti, OFM followed by an introduction to the day and reading from the document from the Minister General and Definitory. Three breakout sessions took place. In the first round, the friars were separate from the seculars, sisters, and nuns. All members were asked to acquaint themselves with the responses from the regions which was posted on the province website along with other pertinent materials. In each grouping the questions of “Charism” or Who are the friars? What is unique about us? were posed. The facilitators used the following script: When you were first entering the friars or as you were first introduced to the friars, what were your expectations? What did you think Franciscans were all about? What realities changed this impression for better or worse? Not looking at what was or what is, but taking the best of these, what should the Friars Minor be? Or what is our niche market in the Church? What aspects of our charism should we be looking to embrace now? How are we different than others? (Four words-observable, definable, measurable) What is keeping us from this? (threats, weaknesses?)

In the second-round participants were asked to form groups of five and moves from table to table, mixing friars and secular/religious participants. In this round, the groups discussed what, Walking in a Particular Style, meant with the objective that:

The participants will be able to name three ways in which they are unique in how they serve.

The moderator read page three of the document from the General definitory highlighting the following:

1.   Self-preservation model versus interconnectedness

2.   Not filling holes, but walking in new ways

3.   Sharing resources, finances, temporal goods

4.   Sharing experience, ministry, life among and between branches of the order/family

5.   What makes us different from diocesan priests? Monks? Laypeople? Three ways that we are different.

6.   Are there any of the themes from the comments that relate here? Areas that need to be addressed.

The groups rotated for 20 minutes for each of three-rounds. Responses were recorded on paper tablecloths which were added to by each subsequent group. These tablecloths were then displayed for the final session to help form conclusions.

The third round (two 15-minute rounds) focused on Who and How do we serve? The objective for this round was that the participants will be able to identify the most important places for them to be.

1.   Most important populations? (Who should we serve? Parishes and retreat houses that we have. New initiatives?

2.   Should we serve the young, the old, migrants and refugees, victims of war, violence? If so, where? Other faiths?

3.   What needs to change?

4.   Name where we should be/should not be.

5.   Any themes from the regional comments that apply? Areas that need to be addressed.

Once all the areas were addressed, the group reconvened in a plenary session. Here, teams of participants scanned the results of the previous two sessions familiarizing themselves with the concepts and discussion results. The plenary session was then asked to rank the response of their investigations to find the greatest commonalities.

Limitations

 The process had some significant limitations. The first was logistics. The province is represented in six countries. Because of ecclesiological differences and logistics, Central America was not included in the process. Three Canadian seculars were present for the Chapter in May through Zoom and iPads. This technology, although it has some limitations, worked well. The model proposed by the general definitory presupposed a collaboration of secular Franciscans, religious Franciscan sisters, and the friars. This is no longer commonplace within the province. Other than Franciscan sisters (Latinas from Central America) in one friary location, there are no active religious women working alongside us. Although two Poor Clares were able to participate, this is an anomaly given their lifestyle as cloistered religious. Further, the secular Franciscan groups throughout the province are less involved with the work of the friars and have their own fraternal obligations. It should be stated however, that the fraternity members were, without exception, excited and grateful to be part of this process.

Conclusions

 The Friars Minor of the Province of the Immaculate Conception see a need for change in the future direction of the Order and Province. Relying on Divine Providence and cooperating with the Holy Spirit, they believe that they need to be more dedicated to prayer, a common life, simplicity, and Evangelical joy. Although these seem like pious attributes at first, they represent an understanding of serving the people where they are, listening to their needs, being present to them in joys and sorrows and remaining where they (the people) are, wherever that may be. The friars of our province did not come up with radical solutions, the desire for new ministries, or daring new initiatives. Instead, they believe that, in listening to our brothers and sisters, they should recommit to these simple values and be ready to respond from this attitude of prayer and fraternity.

These conclusions require change. The brothers must live a more common life. This will mean the gathering of friars in areas and houses to be able to do this. Because of some of the threats, we may need to focus on certain areas to be more “present” to the people of that area. According to the seculars we must be out in the community more, with people, beyond church structures, and in habits. We must also truly investigate the sociological factors around our fraternities and must invite our brothers and sisters of the other branches to join with us in fraternal gatherings and ministries.

Fr. Claudio Moser Returns to His Home Province in Trento, Italy

Ministered in our Province for 58 Years

During the past several weeks, the people of Toronto have been saying farewell to Fr. Claudio Moser, O.F.M., who labored in Canada for so many years. A Mass was celebrated at Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Church on Friday May 10 where Fr. Claudio had been pastor for many years and on May 18 Mass was celebrated at St Peter Church also. A special farewell banquet was held at the Veneto Center. Fr. Robert Campagna, O.F.M., our Provincial wrote a letter which was read at the Mass expressing the gratefulness of the province for Fr. Claudio's many years of ministry in the Immaculate Conception Province.

It reads:

On behalf of the Province of the Immaculate Conception, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your sixty-one years of priestly ministry and service to the Church and the Franciscan Order, as well as your fifty-five years of exemplary service to our province.  When you were welcomed to our province in 1969, you expressed a desire to minister to the Italian Catholics served by our parishes.  After serving over seven years at St. Leonard Church in Boston, your responded to the pressing need for priestly ministry to the rapidly growing Italian community in Toronto.  You arrived in Toronto in 1977, and through the years, touched the lives and hearts of many people.  You distinguished yourself as an associate pastor of Saint Charles Borromeo Church, and as pastor of Saint jane Frances and Saint Peter Church.  In addition to your pastoral duties, you served the province as guardian, procurator, formation director, and treasurer of the foundation. 

I can only imagine the thousands of people who have been touched by your ministry, those you baptized, couples that you married, grieving families that you consoled at funerals, and all those who through the years came to know and love God through your preaching.  Even more than your own ministry, the example of faithful service to the Gospel that you demonstrated through the years as a Franciscan stands as a testimony to the love that God has for all of us and the love that you have for God’s people.  You have been and remain a shining example of sacrifice, Christian charity, and service to the poor and the needy. You will never be forgotten by all those who have been touched by your life.  

As you return to your home Province, Fr. Claudio, I personally wish you much happiness, good health, and above all, the continued favor and blessings of God. I thank you in particular for your friendship through the years, and the brotherhood which is ours in Saint Francis. 

With prayerful good wishes, I am

Fraternally

Fr. Robert M. Campagna, O.F.M.

Lay brothers in the life (and in the reflection) of the Custody of the Holy Land

The Custody of the Holy Land, like the whole of the Franciscan Order, has started a reflection on the vocation and role of “lay brothers.” This expression refers to religious who are not also priests. On Monday 22 April, the “lay brothers” of the Custody (there are 34 of them in all) met in Jerusalem for a day of study, reflection and dialogue.  The Custos of the Holy Land, fra Francesco Patton, also took part in one session and celebrated Mass for them.

About fifteen friars gathered in the rooms of the Curia. The morning opened with a report on some figures of lay brothers in the history of the Order and one on some aspects of canon law concerning this specific figure. In addition, a recent rescript by Pope Francis has opened the doors to the possibility of appointing or electing lay brothers to governing roles in the Order at all levels. The participants had a calm and open dialogue among themselves and with the Custos. In the afternoon, they met again to continue the work of discussion, which will converge into possible proposals to take to the General Chapter of the Custody in 2025 and the meeting of the lay brothers of the whole Order, again scheduled for next year. 

“We are first of all in equal dignity “friars minor.” The distinctions do not concern dignity but the ministry, i.e. the service that we are called to perform. We are not called to all do the same thing,” the Custos emphasized in his homily. It is at this level that the distinction is made between clerics and lay, that especially in the past lay in the distinction between preaching and manual labour. However, for all, without distinction, the indications of St Francis in the Rule apply to everyone in the same way.

The call to religious life is the first and common vocation of Friars Minor. It receives its full form in the solemn profession. It is only afterwards on the formative path of the Order that a possible discernment for the priesthood begins. “We ask the Lord for the grace to rediscover more and more our common dignity as those who have been called,” the Custos said in his homily. Later we wonder in which concrete way we are called to put ourselves at the service of the whole Church and of our fraternity.  Lastly, let us remember that following Jesus means being willing to give our lives for one another, exactly as he gave his for us.”

Being a lay brother is not only the result of the decision not to be a cleric, but is a genuine active decision, a vocation that each one is called to discover, recognize and embrace. There are several paths that lead to this awareness. “During the years of formation, I started to wonder whether the Lord was inviting me to offer myself to him in the form of the priesthood or in another way,” says fra Marco Maria Baldacci, pro-secretary of the Custody. “After the solemn profession, I set out on path of discernment, but at present I do not have any elements to say with any certainty that the Lord is calling me to the priesthood. Moreover, I have never thought that by not being a priest, a piece of my life is missing. My calling is to be a Franciscan in the Order of Friars Minor. I feel my life is complete and my service is total.”

Today, an increasing number of friars receive the holy orders as deacons or priests – in the whole order more than 80%. As well as being a richness, this asks questions about the nature of the Order, on its direction and the type of service to the Church. “In the rule we profess,” the Custos stresses, “our identity is stated in very few words: observe the Gospel living in obedience, without anything of our own and in chastity. There is not a different rule for cleric friars or lay brothers; there is no different vocational identity. The work of formation is to help all the friars discover and rediscover the common identity of friars minor. In the post-Vatican Council generation, we have tried to return to this common and fundamental identity, understanding that it also becomes specific in various types of service.” 

In the Holy Land, many friars who are priests do work which is not closely concerned with the ordained ministry, such as in the field of education. Some services are usually reserved for lay brothers, such as that of first sacristan in the shrines where the Status Quo is in force. At the moment, the head of the infirmary, the deputy general bursar and the bursar of St Saviour’s Convent, and the pro-secretary of the Custody are lay brothers. “The path to take,” according to the Custos, “is to overcome some attitudes, usually unconscious, which are the residue of a clerical mentality, in which the priest is thought to be of a higher class than those who are not. It is not like that.”

“Nobody must be forced into becoming a priest if they do not feel called. On the other hand, nobody must choose the priesthood out of convenience or to occupy certain roles,” says fra Marco Maria. “Being  a priest is not a passepartout, just as being a lay brother is not a limitation: it is simply recognizing what the Lord calls us to be and accepting it, even though at times it may not coincide with our initial ideal. The important thing is being ready for what the Lord asks, in any form it may be. The joy in giving ourselves to Christ and that inner peace that nothing and nobody can take away from us depend on this.”

Very appropriately on theFeast of Saint Matthias, May 14, 2024, our Province has again been blessed with the announcement from the Vatican that our brother, Fr. Angelo Falzon, O.F.M., currently Pastor of Iglesia Inmaculada Concepcion, La Paz, Honduras, has been appointed Bishop of Comayagua,Honduras. He will be ordained a bishop on June 29, 2024 by Bishop Joseph Bonello, O.F.M.

Bishop-elect Falzon will be the fourth Franciscan Bishop from the missionaries of our Province in Central America to be appointed Bishop in Comayagua. Former Bishops of the restored Diocese of Comayagua were Bishop Bernardine Mazzarella (1963-1979), Bishop Gerald Scarpone (1979-2004), and Bishop Roberto Camilleri (2004-2023).

Msgr. Falzon was born on October 15, 1957 in Naxxar, Malta. He professed Solemn Vows in 1983 as a member of the Franciscan Province of St. Paul the Apostle in Malta, and was ordained a priest in 1984. In 1985 he transferred to our Province's missions in Central America, serving in several parishes before being appointed to LaPaz in 2012.He is now the bishop of a diocese whose territory comprises two departments of Honduras, the departments of Comayagua and La Paz, with population of over 700,000 people.

His seat is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Comayagua, which was completed in the 18th century and which is one of the oldest cathedrals in Central America.

Our Province extends congratulations and many blessings to Bishop-elect Angelo Falzon as well as to the Friars of the Province of St. Paul the Apostle in Malta.

The Latin patriarch of Jerusalem delivered an impassioned lecture on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome detailing the process of peace in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, noting that it is an integral part of the Church’s universal mission and one that must not be conflated with overtly temporal or political aims. 

“Peace needs the testimony of clear and strong gestures on the part of all believers, but it also needs to be announced and defended by equally clear words. We cannot remain silent in the face of injustices or invite people to live peacefully and disengage,” Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa,O.F.M. remarked during his “lectio magistralis” at the pontifical university.

“The preferential option for the poor and the weak, however, does not make us a political party,” he added.

The hourlong lecture, titled “Characteristics and Criteria for a Pastoral Care of Peace,” was the latest installment in the university’s ongoing series of studies in peace sciences and international cooperation launched by the school’s Pontifical Pastoral Institute Redemptor Hominis.

The cardinal stressed that the Israel-Hamas conflict is not just an issue for the local Church but also an issue for the universal Church. 

“What I tend to say is that conflict is not a temporary and secondary issue in the life of our Church,” the cardinal continued; rather, he said, it “is now an integral and constitutive part of our identity as a Church.”

Pizzaballa underlined that “talking about peace, therefore, is not talking about an abstract topic but of a deep wound in the life of the Christian that causes suffering and tiredness, a lot of tiredness, and deeply touches the human and spiritual life of all of us.”

Stressing the universality of the conflict, he added it “involves the life of everyone in our diocese and is therefore an integral part of the life of the Church, of its pastoral care.”

The day before the lecture, Pizzaballa took possession of his titular church in Rome, St. Onofrio, where he spoke on the historic, symbolic, and theological links between the Church in the Holy Land and Rome, again expressing the importance of the Holy Land for the universal Church.

“The Church of Jerusalem is the mother Church of the Church, where the roots of the entire universal Church lie, and it is a place that still retains a local and universal character today,” he said during his May 1 homily.

In his lecture, Pizzaballa made overtures to the historical roots of the conflict in order to stress the “plurirelgious” and “pluricultural” nature of the Holy Land and to open a reflection on the importance of narrative in the process of peace. 

“These problems of memory cannot be solved by reading one’s own history,” he said. “Intercultural conflicts will not be overcome if we do not reread different readings of the strong religious and cultural histories.”

While arguing that “peace is not the exclusive responsibility of the pastor,” he noted that religious leaders must work to “create contexts in which communities can express themselves.”

“Today, especially in the Holy Land, everyone has their own little story to tell,” he added. 

Pizzaballa stressed the importance of dialogue as a critical underpinning of the peace process, noting that through the promotion of “continuous dialogue” and “mutual listening” that “a serious pastoral care in peace is born and developed.” 

The cardinal also noted religious leaders must work to promote both “a new culture of legality” as well as to “become a living and prophetic voice of justice, human rights, and peace.” 

While acknowledging that there has always been “a close relationship” between ecclesial and civic leaders, playing a delicate role in the “function[ing] in the life of national communities,” Pizzaballa warned that the Church’s call for peace must exist “without entering into logics of competition and division” in order to offer “credible witnesses.”
