In Part 2, Statue VII of the Rule (Of the Diaspora of the Province) it reads:
- Tertiaries not connected with a Fellowship shall be 'tertiaries-at-large', constituing the Diaspora of a Custodia or Province.
- The Diaspora shall, where possible, be organized as a Fellowship, and some effort made to overcome the isolation and separation of its scattered members, and to introduce a spirit of fellowship among them.
The purpose of our "Sunday night chats" is to make "some effort to overcome the isolation and separation of its scattered members, and to introduce a spirit of fellowship among them".
It is the hopes and prayers of all those currently involved that others will join in. If you've lost your "login and password" contact Br. Jon Teegardin and he will give you the information again. If you don't know how to contact Br. Jon, email me at

and I'll tell you how to contact him.
My prayer for us is that we will abound in the knowledge, understanding and wisdom of Christ. That we will be conformed to His image and carry on His works.
Blessings,
Br. John-David, FOHS

The second step in our formation is reading biographies on St. Francis. Fray Jose (our Spiritual Father) recommends we read "The Life of St. Francis" by St. Bonaventure and Thomas de Celano. Both books are available at Amazon.
Another step in our formation is having a "spiritual director". Each one of us should have a qualified person in our life that can help us with spiritual discernment and direction. If you desire a spiritual director and can not find one, please contact Bishop Delgado (our Spiritual Father) or Br. John-David.
Supposedly, St. Francis once told his fellow brothers - "Preach the Gospel and if necessary use words." This is living the Gospel.
Blessings,
Br. John-David, FOHS
