Franciscan Brothers of Peace share ministry on Relevant Radio

Brothers Pio and Paschal of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace discussed their ministry within the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis during an episode of Practicing Catholic on Relevant Radio 1330 AM. The program, which aired at 9 p.m. on Oct. 2, featured the brothers speaking with co-hosts Leah Heselton and Father Tom Margevicius about the life of St. Francis and their work.

Brother Pio described how he first encountered the order at a charismatic Catholic conference in New Orleans in 1987. After seeing additional advertisements in a magazine, he spent two years discerning his vocation before joining the brothers. Brother Paschal, originally from Texas, spoke about his personal journey toward religious life, noting that his vocation grew from a desire to serve the poor, defend human dignity, and pursue a life of prayer and Eucharistic adoration.
