Our Lady of Guadalupe Province

   For a quarter of a century, Father Jack Clark Robinson, Provincial Minister of Our Lady of Guadalupe Province,  has studied and taught the history of the Order of the Friars Minor. When talking about Franciscan history, he beams with excitement, "Working with the archives is my joy as someone who writes and teaches history."
     To make this book a reality, Father Jack collaborated with six Provincial Archives since July 2018. "What we tried to do with
Franciscan Friars Coast to Coast, is to share a thin slice of the pie that is Franciscan history in the United States." The book achieves this by sharing who the Franciscans are, what they do, and what their impact across the United States has been throughout history. The history of six Franciscan provinces are highlighted through photos that capture friar commonalities, ministries, their humanity, and of course fun! The photos, which range
from baseball games to first professions, share the common goal of telling the untold stories of the friars. " I wanted people to see friars in their natural state, so to speak, as men of faith, men of prayer, men of services, and of course brothers to one another."
