Soon I'll be a Candidate

Hello Dear Reader,

Sunday was my monthly Fraternity meeting at St. Lawrence of Brandisi in Patchogue.  I felt moved in some sentimentality because my lessons with the Fraternity Formation Director have come to a close.  We will be part of this Fraternity, striving to be as Franciscan as possible but I have a new instructor as I move into Candidacy.  Candidacy is the stage prior to Profession and it could take up to 2 years.  However, I am sure that my profession will happen in 18 months.

I have to tell you that my Formation Director is a sweet little Italian man who probably would have been a Franciscan priest but fell in love with a sweet little Italian girl.  Maria is also a professed SFO and I see her as such a light for Tony as well as our Fraternity.  They deeply love their family and the SFO.

I am making plans to attend "FLIC: Franciscans Living In Community" that is happening in August in Wappingers Falls, NY.  I am probably going to need a vacation by that time.  Until next time...

Peace and all good,
Sylvia
