On February 6, 2021, the memorial of the Holy Martyrs Peter BAPTIST, Paul MIKI and Companions, the Provincial Custody of St. Francis of Assisi in Colombia joyfully celebrated the solemn profession of Friars Camilo CALLE RAMÍREZ and Leonardo José RÍOS MADERA.
The celebration took place in the chapel of the San Antonio de Padua Friary in Bogotá and was presided over by the Provincial Custos, Friar José Andrés CASTRO FARAH, in the presence of the resident friars of the formation house, some confreres from other communities of the Custody, some family members of the professed and a small group of faithful, given the pandemic situation affecting the capital of Colombia.
With gratitude, we welcome our confreres’ total and definitive dedication; let us pray to God and the Immaculate Virgin that their joy and youthful enthusiasm may enrich our Order and the Church.
Friar Sidifredo de la Cruz CHAPARRO GUALDRÓN, Vicar Custos
