Earlier this month, Our Lady of Guadalupe's incoming Provincial administration met at the Franciscan Studios for the congressus. Congressus is a meeting held every three years after a Provincial chapter to make friar assignments. Historically participants are the incoming administration, the outgoing Provincial Minister, and the General Visitor. Because of COVID-19, the Congressus looked different than years past but very standard for the new norm of 2020. Friars were separated 6 feet apart, wearing face masks, and connected via video chat to discuss the province's future. In a first for the province, the new leadership's oath of office was live-streamed for friars and followers on social media to view and participate. Mike Johnson, OFM, General Visitor, administered the oath of office via video conference call.
