I wanted to share this article about the CFR Friars with y'all. I thought it was pretty well done and has a good slideshow too.

In more CFR news, the friar novices recieved their habits and new names!

Prayers for all, especially Br. Elijah Joseph who I knew in my college days :D:

Yay, pictures! Thank you!

- Wow, 12 new novices?! They must be getting huge! I hope we may be so fortunate as to have CFR's come to the Twin Cities.

at the investiture, are family/friends allowed?[/quote]

Hmmm.... I think there are some on youtube. Family and friends are usually invited to investitures, but I don't know about the CFRs in particular.

Yes, for Novitiate Investature, Family are welcome, but i noticed, especially those from far away, family come for the fits time for a visit during the novitiate, and everyone at first vows.

Hey ... slightly off topic everyone.

I just noticed that McAfee SiteAdvisor rated www.franciscanfriars.com with a Red/X; because of an email that went out with a virus.

I signed up to be able to rate sites ... and suggested that they reconsider the rating that they gave to the CFRs.

Here's a link to where I went to.

[url="http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/franciscanfriars.com?aff_id=105&suite=true&premium=false&client_ver=ie_2.4.6066.0&client_type=IEPlugin"]http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/francisca...t_type=IEPlugin[/url]

Thought they deserved a bit higher than a red/x ... besides if enough people sign in and rate the site as good then they'd have to take a look at it and at least reconsider upgrading it to a yellow warning (if not a green).
