Support Our Senior Friars

Senior Friar Father Keith and student meet for spiritual direction.
Father Keith and student meet for spiritual direction.

Currently 50 of the Capuchin friars who make up the Province of Saint Joseph are over 80 years old and retired. Others have suffered failing health and have entered convalescent care. 

Today, the annual expenses of providing for them has increased to over $1,000,000! That is much more than the “salaries” and stipends the younger, active Capuchins are able to earn.

Most of the senior and retired Capuchin Friars started out as students at Saint Lawrence Seminary. Many ministered here for most of their religious lives.

Our senior and retired friars, along with friars with urgent health needs, need your generous support.  These good men can no longer earn a salary or work outside the Friary.  They have always cared generously for others in ministry, today they need you and I to care for them.

Please consider a special sacrifice to safeguard the future of our Capuchin Province by caring with us for the Senior friars. God bless you for your generous spirit!

Prayer through the Intercession of Saint Anthony of Padua

Almighty God, you have given Saint Anthony to your people as an outstanding preacher and teacher and as a ready helper to all in need.

Through this holy intercession, welcome into your heavenly kingdom the special person for whom we pray and all the faithful departed who have gone before us in faith and are now at rest in the hope of rising to eternal life in you. Amen.

League of Saint Anthony Memorial Membership has been conferred upon <name of deceased loved one> who will be remembered daily in the Masses and Prayers of the seminarians and Capuchin Community of Saint Lawrence Seminary.

Eternal rest grant unto them , O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

ML
