Vocations Weekend. 4th - 6th of December, Kilkenny

What is a vocation? Who are the Capuchin Franciscans? What do they do? Why do they do it?

If you have asked questions like these, maybe God is inviting you to 'come and see' (John 1:39) what life is like as a Capuchin Franciscan Friar. 

 

 

This vocation experience is open to men aged between 21 and 40. Men of faith; who want to make a tangible difference in the world today. For more information contact Br Terence at tharr@gmail.com or on 086 323 0638.

Three new Postulants received into the Order in Dublin.

GOOD NEWS!  Recently three new Postulants were received into our Postulancy Programme at our Friary in Raheny, Dublin. The Postulancy is a year of discernment during which the candidates take a deeper look at their vocation and try to answer the question: is God calling me to this way of life?  There is no commitment involved and the candidates are free to leave at any time. If you would like to participate in this programme beginning next September then contact me now and together we will prepare for your participation in next years residential discernment programme. My mobile number: 086 3230638 and my email: tharr@eircom.net
