November 12 - 14, 2010
Franciscan Experience Weekend (FEW)

FEWs offer an opportunity for men interested in Franciscan life to discuss their calling in depth with our vocation director and other members of the vocation team. These conversations help clarify the interest level of both the candidates and the friars. During the weekend, which is held at Holy Name College in Silver Spring, Md., guests also meet our friars in post-novitiate and learn about our initial formation program. Guests are generally invited to attend the weekend by the vocation director.
