A wise, gentle, compassionate and good man.

"The rule and life of the Secular Franciscans is this: to observe the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by following the example of St. Francis of Assisi, who made Christ the inspiration and the centre of his life with God and people.


Christ, gift of the Father's love, is the way to Him, the truth into which the Holy Spirit leads us, and the life which he came to give abundantly. " ( Rule Secular Franciscan Order 4)"
Thank you for your guidance, Father Lucian.
Pax et Bonum! Rest in Peace.
