Contact Capuchin Franciscans

We welcome your interest in the Capuchin Franciscans. If you are a single Catholic man 18 to 40 and live in New York State or the New England states and feel the Lord may be calling you to follow Him in serving the poor after the example of St. Francis of Assisi, we would like the opportunity to meet you. Perhaps we could assist you in your discernment process.

Our Coordinator of Vocation Ministry, Brother Tim Jones, will be happy to meet with you to discuss our various ministries, Capuchin way of life and answer any questions you may have. This will also give you the opportunity to participate in our 'Come and See' Discernment Weekends, where you will meet other Capuchin Friars and men such as yourself discerning God's Call in their life.

We invite you to call, email or write to Brother Tim Jones (see information below). You can also complete our On Line Information Form or download the PDF version, complete it and mail to Brother Tim Jones at the Good Shepherd Friary address below.

The information you provide will help us assist in your vocation journey. Brother Tim will contact you within one week of receiving your Inquiry. In the meanwhile, please feel free to view our newsletter, Peacemakers.

“Greater results are obtained where there are brothers specifically assigned for promoting and coordinating vocations.”

Our Local Vocation Contact Friars create a presence in each of our ministerial sites and aid in the vocation process. If you would like to contact a Capuchin Friar in your state or region please click here.

In 1952, the increasing number of friars and the logistics of serving such a vast area of the Americas were challenging. The original province was divided into two provinces and the Capuchin Province of St. Mary was created. In addition, other provinces were established by Bavarian, Italian and Irish Capuchins. Today, there are eight provinces in North America with approximately 1,000 Capuchin friars serving the poor and disenfranchised. The Province of St. Mary is headquartered in White Plains, NY.
