Joseph Cavoto, OFM, will profess his final vows as a Friar Minor at a ceremony March 19 during Vespers at St. Francis Friary in New York City. Joseph, a former Atonement friar, began his formal period of transition into the Order in April 2012.
In light of the impending withdrawal of the Province from St. Stephen Friary, James O’Connell, OFM, has been granted permission to move to St. Monica Rectory on East 79th Street in New York City, effective March 14. He is continuing his ministry as chaplain at the Weill Cornell campus of New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
