Vienen de diferentes continentes y regiones y tienen diversos or\u00edgenes, pero comparten el mismo objetivo: seguir los pasos de San Francisco como frailes misioneros franciscanos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El camino que han emprendido es dif\u00edcil. Requiere sacrificio y dedicaci\u00f3n. Los estudios acad\u00e9micos, la formaci\u00f3n pastoral y el crecimiento espiritual y personal requieren mucho de estos hombres. Saben lo importante que es para ellos abrirse al Esp\u00edritu Santo y entregarse totalmente a Dios, para poder serviros a vosotros, el pueblo de Dios, como lo har\u00eda Cristo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El fraile franciscano Padre Alan, OFM respondi\u00f3 al llamado de Cristo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gracias a sus oraciones y generosidad, el P. Alan fue ordenado recientemente como sacerdote misionero franciscano. Est\u00e1 al servicio de los pobres en Congo-Brazzaville.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conoci\u00f3 a los frailes por primera vez en 2006 y all\u00ed se plant\u00f3 la semilla de una vocaci\u00f3n. Despu\u00e9s de un a\u00f1o sirviendo a su comunidad como trabajador de cuidados paliativos, decidi\u00f3 convertirse en misionero franciscano.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En 2013 pudo estudiar filosof\u00eda. En 2016 aprendi\u00f3 a hablar italiano en Roma y luego fue a Jerusal\u00e9n a estudiar teolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P. Alan ahora sirve como vicario parroquial en Djiri, donde difunde el Evangelio, trabaja con los pobres de la comunidad local y es responsable de la escuela Santa Chiara que educa y cuida a 500 ni\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Est\u00e1 muy agradecido con los benefactores que apoyaron su formaci\u00f3n, porque sin ellos todo lo que hoy hace no hubiera sido posible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>En nombre del Padre Alan y de todos los misioneros franciscanos, doy gracias a Dios por vosotros, \u00a1y os lo agradezco con todo mi coraz\u00f3n!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuyo en Cristo<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hermano Andrew Brophy, OFM<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director ejecutivo<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They come from every corner of the world.
