Br. Quoc's Ordination

Br. Quoc Nguyen, OFM Cap.
On September 28, 2001 the Capuchins of the Province joined together with the Observant Franciscans of the Santa Barbara Province to celebrate the ordinations of two of their friars, Brothers Edgar Maga\0x96a, OFM and Quoc Nguyen, OFM Cap. The ordination took place at St. Elizabeth's Church in Oakland and the ordaining prelate was Bishop Ricardo García, long time friend of the Franciscans in California. The ordination liturgy was very well attended and was graced with the music of two choirs; one choir was from St. Elizabeth and sang in Spanish and English and the other choir was from St. Boniface and sang in Vietnamese. The friars congratulate their brother Quoc on his ordination and wish him many blessings as he ministers to God's people. Currently Bro. Quoc is residing at San Buenaventura, San Francisco.
