In
the year 1525 a small group of men broke with the Observant
friars seeking a life of more intense prayer and stricter
poverty, in
keeping with the original intentions of St. Francis. From
these
humble beginnings, the Capuchin Reform grew rapidly and today numbers
over 11,000 friars in 99 countries...

 Are
you discerning a vocation as a religious priest or lay brother? If, so
you may be interested in learning more about the Capuchin Franciscans.
Our weekend vocation retreats, "Rebuild My Church," take their name
from an encounter St. Francis of Assisi once had with the Lord. While
kneeling before the San Damiano Crucifix, the saint heard the voice of
Jesus say, "Francis... rebuild My church which, as you see, is in
ruins... " Francis took the Lord quite literally and began to rebuild
the physical structure of San Damiano Church. It was not long however,
before the Lord sent him brothers, and a zealous new movement was
begun. This movement would enkindle Europe, renew the Church, and spawn
thousands and thousands of followers.
Join the friars for a weekend of prayer,
fraternity, reflections
on the Capuchin Franciscan spirituality and charism, as well as visits
to our ministries among the poor in our local community.
Dates for upcoming "Rebuild My Church" retreats are as follow:
March 19 - 23, 2008 Holy Week Discernment Retreat, Mother Cabrini Shrine, Denver
April 25 - 27, St. Crispin Friary, St. Louis, MO.
Please call for a phone interview prior to the retreat.
