Fi News #66 – Rare Abominable Snow Friar spotted and video taped at Bloomington, IN ( 03min) >>> Play |

Ave Maria!
Yes, I know another video of sledding friars. Apparently, I was supposed to post this one first and the one I posted first was simply to give the “friar-cam” views that weren’t included in this one. Well, I guess I lost track. Its hard to keep up with these sledding friars from Bloomington, IN! Anyways, this one is done to some rather humerus music and features some classic friar wipe outs and beards full of snow. Enjoy!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
Fra Isaac Haas, FI outlines his experience in the battle for marriage while he worked with National Organization for Marriage (NOM) before he became a friar. He covers the reason for NOM being created, how it counters the very well funded machine that is advocating for the radical changes in the definition of marriage which has far ranging consequences in regard to religious freedom and the ill effects on family and children.
Ave Maria!

- Blessed Junipero Serra
- Also known as the Apostle of California
The incredible story of a Franciscan friar past the age of 50 and with a bad leg established the California missions:
Miquel Joseph Serra was born and baptized on November 24, 1713 in the small town of Petra on the island of Mallorca, Spain. At the age of fifteen, Serra left home to enter the Franciscan University in nearby Palma to study philosophy. When Serra was seventeen, he decided to join the Franciscan Order.

Homily #090112 ( 08min) Play – Fr. Ignatius preaches on St. Bernard of Corleone who was a shoemaker who then became an adventurer with a love for dueling and led a disordered life. Then after mortally wounding a man, and through his remaining devotions that he had held onto, he gained the grace of conversion and became a very holy Capuchin friar. He died in 1667.
Ave Maria! Mass readings
