Regional Minister – September 2018

It was a perfectly perfect day! The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, but just enough breeze to keep it comfortable. And, it was the day of the First Annual Secular Franciscan Family Picnic for the fraternities bonded to the OFM Caps of the Province of St. Augustine. God was smiling on the Friars efforts!

Father Francis Sariego, OFM Cap. Reflections for September – 2018

September 2018
