Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR)
Last November, Fr. Augustino and Br. David flew out from the Bronx friary to MC and gave a talk at Catholic Underground LA. It was great! Fr. Augustino was supposed to preach at 6:45 p.m., but instead led the core team and the few early birds up to the church to pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet and a Novena.
I was really really excited about meeting Fr. Augustino for the first time. Fr. Stan was the first CFR I ever met when he came and performed at my high school once upon a decade ago. I think Fr. Stan would leave an impression on just about anyone, so I checked out the community’s website, which has an e-letter of spiritual thoughts and advice posted every week.
I am not embarrassed to say this—I’ve been reading the CFR e-letter off and on for years, and since Fr. Augustino writes for the e-letter often I guess you could say I’m kind of a fan…in addition to being a CFR groupie : )
If you need some more CFR goodness in your life, watch this short documentary on them. It must have been made a while ago as some of the friars are still being called “Brother” but have been introduced to me as ordained priests:
