The Capuchin Friars gathered together at Plumpton Friary in Sydney for their three yearly chapter from 29th November until 3rd December. Br John Cooper was re-elected Provincial Minister for a second three year term.

The new Vicar Provincial is Br Greg Rowles who is presently parish priest of Guardian Angels Church in Wynnum Brisbane.

We wish Br John and his new Definitory God's blessings as they lead the friars into the next millenium.

The new Definitory are at present meeting to discuss new placements for the friars. These will be posted to the web site as they become available.
