FRIARS MEET IN CHAPTER



Every three years, the Capuchins of Guam and Hawaii meet in a formal meeting, lasting several days, called a Chapter. During Chapter, policies are adopted and community leaders are elected.




This year, the number of professed friars at Chapter are 15. There are also three friars observing who are not yet finally professed.




Fr. Francis Gasparik, Provincial of St. Mary Province (New York-New England), seen here addressing the friars, presides over the Chapter until the new Custos (superior) is elected.




Fathers Michel Dalton, Patrick Castro and Joseph English.




Our secretaries, Fathers Andre Eduvala and Marvin Bearis.




Father Felixberto Leon Guerrero, Brother Ryan Charfauros, Brother Brian Champoux, Father Michael Tenorio and Brother Gavin Diego.
