Brother Nate Santos, who comes from Santa Rita, Guam, is in his second year of college and studying at Holy Names University in Oakland, California.  Besides a full-time academic schedule, Brother Nate brings Holy Communion to the sick as his weekly ministry.

The Berkeley Capuchin Friary (Saint Conrad Friary)

where Brother Nate lives

The campanile (bell tower) of the UC Berkeley campus can be seen from the roof top of the friary.

And on a less foggy day, one can see the Golden Gate Bridge from the same friary roof top.
