On Wednesday, September 8, 2021, four new novices were invested with the habit of St. Francis and began their novitiate.  The four novices from our province, Kevin Ottoniel Hernandez, Gabriel Rojas Mendieta, Yony Alberto Molina Dias, and Jimmy Marchante, received the habit from Fr. Antonio Riccio, O.F.M., Provincial Secretary for Formation and Studies, at the novitiate- the Santuario San Damiano in Assisi.  Also present was Fr. Orlando Ruiz, O.F.M., Vocation Director.  Congratulations to our new brothers.   Along with two new brothers from the Seraphic Province of St. Francis of Assisi of Umbria, they begin their year of novitiate.
