" The decision to make a life long commitment to being a friar is never an easy one. It requires a long process of discernment for everyone concerned. We entered the Order six years ago and throughout that time we have been continuously formed into our way of life. Having lived with the friars for such a long time enables us to see if this is the kind of life we wish to live, and it also allows the friars to make their judgement as to our suitability for this life. It's been a long road for the two of us, full of challenges, joys and sorrows, and surprises - just like in any family. We both feel that this is now our family, and along with our brothers we will endeavour to do God's will in our lives."  Br. Martin Mikuskiewicz O.F.M.Cap
