Ave Maria!
This slide show is set to music and has several photos of each house of our order. The text is in Italian. It is a bit long because we had about 46 houses in 2008 when this video was made, and several more opened since. Many of these houses are immense spiritual, historical and artistic treasures of the Catholic Church. Since we are one of the few orders that are growing in Italy and elsewhere, bishops are begging us to take over these sanctuaries. And since we had over 150 young men enter our order this year alone, we will be accepting many more of these offers in the future. Deo Gratias!

WOW! I had NO idea. What a beautiful display of the work Our Lady is doing through you men. It’s really breath-taking. I am so thankful that all of you men from all over the world are not only hearing the Lord’s call, but are answering it. How unbelievably humbling and inspiring. This video should give any of us disappointed with the the worldly woes some true Godly hope.
May the Lord continue to bless you all in abundance.
I am wishing so much that I lived closer to a friary!
Beautiful video and it is so heartening to know of the growth of this holy Order.
Ave Maria!
