Br. Carlos Wagner, OFM

Franciscan postulant Carlos Wagner came to know the friars through the recommendation of his parish priest in Staten Island, where he settled after moving to the United States from Colombia.

After reaching out to the Vocation Ministry Team, Carlos connected with the fraternity at St. Francis Friary on West 31st Street in New York City and engaged with the various ministries at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. He also connected with the friars at St. Mary’s Friary in Pompton Lakes, N.J.

Carlos is particularly attracted to the missionary spirit of the Franciscans, their life of prayer, and their commitment to fraternity.
