The Community of Franciscan Friars of the Renewal is happy to announce the ordination of Br. Francis Mary Roaldi and Br. Agustino Miguel Torres to the Holy Diaconate on Saturday, September 1, 2007.

Br. Francis Mary and Br. Agustino were ordained with four of their diocesan seminary classmates by Bishop Dennis Sullivan, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of New York. The liturgy was held at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers, New York. This week, both friars will begin their fourth and final year of theological studies in preparation for their ordination to the Sacred Priesthood in May, 2008

We would like to share with you a few photos from the Community’s Mass of Thanksgiving held the following day at Most Blessed Sacrament Friary in Newark, New Jersey.

Please pray for our newly ordained deacons!
