On October 5, local fraternities in the Philippines commemorated all deceased brothers, sisters, relatives, and benefactors of the Capuchin Order. This annual observance took place following the solemnity of Saint Francis of Assisi.
According to Ordinances of the General Chapters, 3/2, it was stated: “Every year, after the solemnity of Saint Francis, each local fraternity shall celebrate a commemoration of all deceased brothers, sisters, relatives, and benefactors.” This important event served as a time for reflection and remembrance within our community.
The Capuchin brothers in their respective fraternities celebrated this solemn occasion, honoring those who had passed and celebrating their contributions to our faith and community.
As we gathered in prayer and remembrance, we reaffirmed our commitment to the values taught by Saint Francis and the legacy left by our departed members.
