The Midwest Capuchins received five new postulants during a Eucharist at St. Martin de Porres Church in Milwaukee earlier today. The joyful moment marks the culmination of months and years of discernment and making application. The five are: Brenton Ertel, Luke Giebel, Merwyn D'Silva, Anthony Kote-Witah, and Joe Doern. John Celichowski, provincial minister, received them in the name of the Capuchin Order. Steve Kropp and Kent Bauer will be their directors for the coming year.
