Our fraternal collaboration with the Custody of Our Lady of Hope (Guatemala-Honduras-El Salvador) took a concrete step forward this spring. On June 12, our brother Fr. Carlos Cortéz arrived to begin his ministry in the Province. After spending some days at Our Lady of Sorrows Friary in New York City, he settled in at St. Francis of Assisi Friary in Jamaica Plain, Mass. His assignment is to study English in preparation for service as a chaplain with Capuchin Mobile Ministries. We warmly welcome our brother to the Province!
