Several have been killed in a Papua New Guinea landslide; the AP reports that there are a reported 40 dead and 20 missing. This occured in the Southern Highlands in villages just outside Mendi, SHP, where our brother Donald Lippert will celebrate his episcopal ordination next week and become the pastoral leader of the Diocese of Mendi. Our provincial minister and other friars have left the USA for the celebration. Please pray for them and for the people who have lost homes and family members. Stay in touch with the Papua New Guinea news at the Telegraph .

Four men professed their first vows as Capuchin friars on Saturday, 16 July 2011. Brother Rafael Anguiano-Rodriguez, Brother Roshan Anthonypillai, Brother James Watson and Brother John Paul Kuzma have completed their year of novitiate and have vowed poverty, chastity and obedience for three years to discern whether they can joyfully live as Capuchin friars for the rest their lives. They now move to Washington, DC, to continue their formation as professed friars. Gradually they will take up philosophical and theological studies at Catholic University.
