Six of the Friars to visit us from Germany were: from left to right:
Friars Christophorus OFM Cap., Bernard OP, Tomas, OFM Cap.Ulrich, OP Toma, OP and student Korbinian, The one in friar habit is Friar Ray Frias, OFM Cap.
The initials after the names means OFM Cap Order of Friars Minors, a Franciscan Branch, and OP means Order of Preachers , a Dominican Branch..
The Friars from Germany teach in University in Germany and are doing research on Secularization of society
and its effect on Religious life and of the Church.
Friar Ray brought them to our monastery so that they would understand where the contemplative life fit into this scheme of things. The Sisters found the exchange very stimulating.
