Roving Reporter #89 – Story-time with Friar Anthony in the kitchen ( 08min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Recently the ‘Italian’ Roving Reporter had a chance to catch up with Friar Anthony M. Servium at Villa Santa Lucia in Italy.  Friar Anthony recounted a fascinating story regarding Padre Pio and his prophecy that a new shrine would be built between the town of Pietrelcina and the cave where the Archangel St. Michael appeared many centuries ago.  Guess which religious order (apparently) has the privilege of fulfilling this prophecy?  We also hope you enjoy some of the beautiful scenes of the friars’ hike to the town of Monte Sant’Angelo.

[Note: Thanks for the encouraging comments from my last report at Villa Santa Lucia with Friar Anthony & Friar Josemaria.  It's great to hear from everyone, and be assured of my prayers and sacrifices.  (Note to Mr. Dietz: please don't Fed-Ex any burgers...there's already too much food over here!) In the next video, I hope to take you on a brief tour of Bosco ai Frati, a famous Franciscan convent which is now our postulant house in Italy.]

Ave Maria!

Roving Reporter #87 – Friar Terrance visits Friar Anthony and Friar Josemaria ( 10min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Friar Terrance goes “on assignment” (from his Mother) to Italy in preparation for philosophy and theology studies.  Before reaching his destiny at Campocavallo, Italy – a stones’ throw away from the House of Loreto – he had a chance to sit down with Friar Anthony Servium and Friar Josemaria who are beginning philosophy studies at Villa Santa Lucia.  What have these two friars been doing since their departure from the states, and what’s it like in the place that they’re now in?  Listen now and here about their adventures and also what priestly formation is like as a Franciscan Friar of the Immaculate.  (We hope you enjoy the scenes from Southern Italy.)

Ave Maria!
