Well, I'll enter as a postulant, then a brother, then a priest. It's the typical religious life process, its been like that for almost 800 years so I guess it works! LOL![/quote]

You will be a brother at the beginning, but then you can choose between the priesthood and permanent brotherhood. Saint Francis himself was a permanent brother, never becoming a priest. I am assuming you are hoping to go the "priest" route

There are currently six MFVA priests. The rest of the perpetual professed are permanent brothers however. Brother Leo, for example, is a permanent brother.
