Formation with the Little Friars of Jesus and Mary

From August 2024-March 2025 I spent 7 months in Formation and discernment with the Little Friars of Jesus and Mary (also known as the Poor Friars). During this time I lived as a religious, working with their apostolate to preach the good news of Christ with simplicity and competence to all backgrounds  in the US and Mexico. This time was highly formative in my life and I am excited to see the Lord use the fruits of that experience in my work and in His church.
