A soulful journey through the life of the Friars Minor — bound by faith, guided by love. This is their call to live as one body in Christ, growing together in fraternity and mission
WATCH NOW ▸From the quiet valley at dawn, we begin our journey—feet on the earth, hearts open to one another, eyes lifted to the distant summit. Each step is a conversation, a shared laughter, a silent prayer, drawing us into the rhythm of fraternal life. Along the winding paths, we discover that joy multiplies when shared, that every smile, every helping hand, every story told becomes a thread weaving us into a living tapestry of communal happiness.
As the slopes grow steeper and the air crisper, we realize the summit is not just a place—it is the experience of unity itself: God, creation, and humanity intertwined. In this ascent, we encounter the fullness of life, the richness of fraternal bonds, and the delight of walking together in purpose, love, and communion.Welcome to this journey. May every step lift your spirit, every encounter warm your heart, and every breath remind you of the happiness found in shared life.
