The friars of the two Franciscan communities in San Diego are preparing for a special Day of Recollection this coming October, with the aim of deepening their spiritual communion and reflecting on the path ahead as a newly established province.
Br. Keith Douglass Warner, OFM, Guardian, has invited prof. Martín Carbajo-Núñez to lead this day of reflection and prayer. Tentatively scheduled for Friday, October 3, the gathering will be inspired by the themes and insights from the 2025 Franciscan Provincial Synod Report, available in both English and Spanish here.
In his invitation, Br. Keith encouraged Br. Martín to consider using a theme already familiar to him, grounded in the vision and direction articulated during the synodal process. Friars are looking forward to a moment of pause, prayer, and fraternal renewal.
Final details, including the theme and exact date, will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
