On Friday, September 11, 2020, the new leadership of the Southwest Franciscans of Our Lady of Guadalupe Province was announced to the friars. Although the friars have historically voted on leadership during their triennial Province Chapter, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the friars could not meet in person for this event.

Please help us in congratulating:
Ron Walters, OFM, Provincial Minister
Charlie Martinez, OFM, Vicar Provincial
Dale Jamison, OFM, Gerry Steinmetz, OFM,
Patrick Schafer, OFM and Erasmo Romero, OFM, Definitors

We ask that you keep these friars in your prayers as they lead our
Province over the next three years. 

We also thank Jack Clark Robinson, OFM, for his six years of leaderships as Provincial Minister, and Efren Quintero, OFM for his time as Secretary and Definitor.
