Meet Our Leadership Team
Holy Name Province’s administrative offices, headed by Provincial Minister Fr. Kevin Mullen, OFM, are located in the heart of New York City. The Provincial Administration is responsible for the various facets of caring for our nearly 300 friars, the orchestration of our many ministries, and maintaining our relationships with the dioceses in which we live and work, as well as with the headquarters of the worldwide Order of Friars Minor in Rome.
The Provincial Council, pictured below, serves as the governing body of Holy Name Province. These friars are elected by their brothers to serve as part of the Provincial Administration. In laymen’s terms, the Provincial Minister serves as the president, the Provincial Vicar is equivalent to the vice president, and the Provincial Council is similar to a board of directors.

As a “medicant order” without resources of their own, Franciscans have relied from the beginning on generous men and women whom St. Francis called “spiritual friends” to support their work.
Today, in Holy Name Province, the task of reaching out to people who wish to help serve others is the focus of the Development Office.
The Development Office staff reaches its constituents through a variety of digital media, print publications and live events. Its webpage offers information and accepts donations.
