Our porters volunteer their time and energy to help the friars in many ways; they take turns answering the phone, attending to people coming to the friary for different needs, helping open and close the chapel and also lending a hand in friary special occasions.
To show our appreciation, the friars host them at a local restaurant every year around Christmas time. Besides a nice meal, games are played for prizes and gifts are given, besides a lot of other fun. God bless our porters!

Just some of the prizes and gifts to be won or awarded.
One of the fun games that livened the dinner was to make buildings or structures with little marshmallows and tooth picks!
Merry Christmas!
