On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in H\u0103l\u0103uce\u0219ti, Romania, eight of the thirty-four friars who had made their solemn profession in the same church twenty-five years earlier celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving. The Mass was presided over by the Minister Provincial of the Province of St. Joseph, Spouse of the B.V.M. in Romania, Friar Damian-Gheorghe P\u0102TRA\u0218CU, together with other priests of the Province.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On that unforgettable day, these friars, following divine inspiration, dedicated their lives to God, placing them at the service of God, the Church, and their brothers. Their solemn profession was the culmination of their journey of discernment and formation, which had begun several years earlier in the Order\u2019s houses of formation in Romania and abroad.
\nThose thirty-four friars shared the joy and enthusiasm of belonging to the first generation of friars of the Province of Romania at the beginning of the new millennium. They were living at a time when the Church and humanity were entering a new century, guided by Christ\u2019s words to the Apostle Peter: Duc in altum! (\u201cPut out into the deep!\u201d Luke 5:4), an expression that Pope John Paul II would place at the heart of his 2001 apostolic letter Novo millennio ineunte.
\nOver the last twenty-five years, those thirty-four friars have truly \u201cput out into the deep,\u201d serving in various communities of the Province and the Order around the world, following the example of St. Francis of Assisi and the friars who came before them.
\nFor this reason, the jubilee celebration was first and foremost a time to praise and thank God for the gift of vocation and fidelity. During the Mass, the friars commemorated three of the friars from their group of thirty-four who had already gone to the Father\u2019s house. They also commemorated Friar Ion CIURARU, who served as Minister Provincial at that time and had received their profession, and the other formators and confessors who are now deceased.<\/p>\n

The jubilarians invoked God\u2019s help, together with the prayers and support of the friars and the faithful, so that they might continue to live out what they promised the Lord twenty-five years ago, for His glory and for the salvation of their souls, with the same faith expressed in the hymn of their profession:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are called to love,<\/em>
\nwe share the same mission:<\/em>
\nto build together<\/em>
\na better world on earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Special thanks to all who contributed to organizing and carrying out this celebration, namely, the Minister Provincial and the friars from the friary in H\u0103l\u0103uce\u0219ti.<\/p>\n

May God bring to completion the good work He has begun in the friars celebrating their jubilee!<\/p>\n
