A young, good looking, media savy and charismatic friar like you is a perfect person to spread God's word and the Franciscan cause. God bless you.

Some 800 Franciscans Friars in the USA? This is wonderful. God bless them all. May this number grow even more, God willing.

God bless the Franciscan order. I hope that this resolution will benefit you and your brothers.

Pray for me I also want to be Franciscan.

JMJ Perhaps if the Friars would wear their tunic(habit) the vocations would flourish. No, the habit does NOT make the Friar. However the habit identifies the Friar as a servant of God. The habit says to others, 'how may i serve you?' (See Phillipians 2:7-9) The habit is most excellent for evangelization. The habit is a sacramental and helps not only the Friar, but by example, assists others along their journey to holiness. Pax et bonum.

Was great to catch a glimpse of Bro.Dan Horan. I noticed that a majority of Friars aren't our age but much older. Maybe your videos will inspire more to listen to their calling like I did. Will keep you all in my prayers

One year in the life of the Franciscans is a drop of water in a large and beautiful bucket. God bless and keep you and your brothers and may Saint Francis guide your future in the United States.

Thank you very much...wonderful news to the franciscan family. My hope and prayer is to see all three branches united as well. I thank you for the time you give us, wonderful teaching tool. Peace and good!

St Francis would have wanted it that way. Congratulations!

Unity of the body!! Hallelujah praise God.

Congratulations Brother! I think this is a great choice and also a challenge, but I hope all of you will walk through this path. You all are in my prayers. May you continue to live in the spirit of St. Francis!

This was an amazing witness. Congrats to all of you. May God's Will truly be done. Blessings.

Awesome Video Brother! Keep it up! :-) May God's blessings be upon you and all Our Franciscan Family!

Oh my gosh Franciscan life is so funnnn ~~~

Congratulations!!! I’m sure St. Francis is rejoicing seen his U.S. brothers come together as one, as his first brothers in the 12th century. May God continúe blessing you and guide you through the Holy Spirit.

God bless you all. We are praying for you.

Congratulations to the fisrt step my brothers in the USA. God bless you all Franciscan friar in South Africa

I was anxiously waiting for an answer since you tweeted the vote

Congratulations and good luck!

dear brother Franciscans you are our inspiration .

Very exciting...I knew the outcome and yet I was holding my breath for the final vote.

And you are a great friar!

Thank you

I WISH I CAN JOIN !!!!

Congratulations!!!

So does this affect every franciscan order even in Canada toronto? Cuz in the church i go to theres a Friar who holds the healing masses and i love it i hope that doesnt change... But either way thank you for sharing this huge event i laughed out loud at 3:26 i thought i heard you say 'hurting cats'

My favorite orders are Jesuits and Franciscans. Saludos desde Venezuela .

⭐"So many friars of different Faiths." Interesting to say the least! Interview that Friar to elaborate on that statement please. Thank you kindly. God bless!⭐

Some of these were kinda close

We at St Francis of Assisi Parish in Spokane will never forget the Santa Barbara province who founded our parish. Unfortunately, we are soon to be given over to the Diocese in this resettlement.

WHY am I watching this still? I love your videos, but let’s face it…this is inside stuff. But I can’t look away because you’re so excited, and now I want to know the outcome! I’m a hairdresser in Tennessee! LOL

Hi! You Mentioned there are 7 provinces in the United States. But only six voted... Was there a province not represented? Great videos by the way!!

I will be there with you soon my brother's

Notification squad :)

This doesn’t matter at all but I go to Siena College! I just missed you!

It will be an interesting future for you and your brothers over the next years but we know it's really all in God's hands.

almost 6 years after this joyful voting day, I wonder what happened since then

Just curious, which province do you belong to EDIT: Should've waited till the end of the video :)

It's 2021 now! Are you becoming one province in a few months?

Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, in whatever part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. The local people must understand what the missionary is saying to them. The missionary must get the Word right to the people! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yuriy Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language. This excellent book will give you answers how to correctly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book answers many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. Good luck with your important work!

Awesome! This proves that big changes are always a real possibility! And this lead me to this treacky question, brother... Do you think that, just as the big 7 provintials in the US come together as one, will be a day where all the 3 main franciscan orders (ofm, ofmcap, ofmconv) come together as a whole one Franciscan order? A really hard question isnt it? Hahaha God bless you, brother!

Does the Franciscan friars of the renewal share a part as well?

So many Jedi Friars. 😂😂😂

Not sure I understand the excitement about decreasing numbers?

Is it only capuchin franciscan? Or all the franciscan orders?

How come St Bonaventure providence isn’t in there? Or did I miss something? BTW I love your vids! God Bless and keep them coming!

looks life is on the high side, lots of food, looks like a resort

Are Franciscans "of our time" forward thinking in current issues such as Gay rights, Universal health care, etc? Thanks.

I saw Viet Nam flag. I'm from Viet Nam

Me, a Protestant, who has no idea what's going on, when he's calling all of the votes 👁️👄👁️

I noticed that there were no other young friars beside yourself...will you be the last...?

Does this affect capuchins?

When you have a large number of French friars in one place, what are you missing?? Answer: A burger, some ketchup and a soda!!!

7 congregation of Franciscan OFM and the most important /I think: OFMConv and OFMCap/?

Are this all Capuchin provinces?

Loretta chapel franciscans ... Loretta chapel...

3:40 - "So many Friars of different faiths." And they wonder why their numbers are dwindling.

dwindling? so sad.....

hardly any young friars and I hardly see any person of color ?

We're the Franciscans doing something bad? You said a day that will "live on in infamy" do you know what that means? Infamy is something notoriously bad. You seem to think the quote from FDR about infamy means a famous day but rather it means to be remembered for its evil happenings. How can I say this nicely. Think before you post. Your "enthusiasm" would be better received if it were backed by knowledge.
