About 55 Conventual Franciscan friars gathered at their headquarters in Mount Saint Francis, Indiana to celebrate their jubilarians. Fr. Cletus Pifher and his three remaining classmates celebrated their 50th anniversary of priestly ordination. A number of other friars celebrated other anniversaries.
The gathering also marked the opening of the first session of Province Chapter. Chapter is the fraternal and decision making assembly of members of a religious order. For example, the Franciscan friars in Brunswick hold a local chapter (friary chapter) each month. The Province of Our Lady of Consolation, to which our local friars belong, holds Province Chapter every 4 years.
If anyone would like to send a card to Fr. Cletus on the occasion of his 50th, you can send it here to Nativity and we will send them on to Fr. Cletus in Indiana.
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOD'S BLESSINGS, FR. CLETUS!
