We have an upcoming coffee morning for men interested in our Capuchin way of life. Some answers to questions we are often asked:
1. The upper age limit for joining the Irish Capuchin Friars is 40 years of age
2. To follow a vocation as a brother or priest in the Catholic Church, a person must be baptised in the Catholic Church, they must be actively practicing their faith and they must be free to join a religious Order i.e. they must not be married or in any committed relationship.
3. We live a community based life. This means we share all we have and all we are with each other. We pray together, eat together and share the blessings and challenges of our Capuchin life together.
You can find out more about us on our website: www.capuchinfranciscans.ie/vocations
If you think that this vocation experience may be of help to your discernment, please email vocations@capuchins.ie to find out more. ... See MoreSee Less
