On September 16, 2025, our Capuchin brothers came together as one fraternity to respond to the call of the General Curia through the questionnaire to be submitted to the Pacific Asia Capuchin Conference (PACC).
The gathering began joyfully with the arrival of the brothers from St. Francis of Assisi Fraternity at 8:00 a.m., followed shortly by our brothers from Lipa City and Pulo, Laguna. A simple breakfast was shared, reminding us of the beauty of communion found even in the life’s simplest moments.
At 9:00 a.m., the meeting formally commenced with the presence of our Brother Provincial, Br. Edgar Martinez, OFMCap. A prayer led by Br. Noe, OFMCap. set the tone of openness, listening, and fraternal discernment.
The brothers engaged wholeheartedly in the task entrusted to us, listening to one another and weaving together our reflections as a family. What we collated today is not only a set of answers, but also a testimony of our shared life and mission as Capuchins.
By 12:00 noon, the meeting came to a close. We then gathered for a simple fraternal meal with the Bahay Capuchino fraternity and staff, extending the joy of being brothers who walk together in service of the Lord and His Church. Pax et bonum.
