 Brian E. Smail, OFM Director The Franciscan Vocation Ministry supports those men who feel they may be called to live in fraternity as a Franciscan friar. The Ministry provides information about the Order, as well as our admissions process and the initial formation program. It also provides on-going assistance with discernment to religious life, including hosting "Come and See" weekends for interested men, as well as Discernment Weekends for those who wish to explore our life during a retreat experience.

 Jocelyn Thomas Director Communicating information to the members of the Province, its partners-in-ministry, and the public at large is the mission of the Communications Office. By using electronic publishing methods as well as traditional print publications, the office keeps its constituents up-to-date on news of the Province's ministries and people. The bi-weekly HNP Today e-newsletter is read by both friars and the public. In addition, the Communications Office manages this Web site and serves as the Province's contact point with external media.
