What a terrific way to honor the order's founders.

Beautiful!  If I had entered any religious order without exception, it would have been the Sister branch.  Unfortunately, my medical problems are not compatible with religious life.  I love the Friars and the Sisters, though!

More here. Apparently it's been a year since the friars were recognized as a religious institute of pontifical right. So they had a street party! Lots of pics.  https://aleteia.org/2017/06/14/franciscan-friars-of-the-renewal-party-it-up-in-celebration-of-pontifical-designation/
