50 YEARS OF PRIESTHOOD

Br Romano Franchini OFM Cap celebrated 50 years of priesthood with a liturgy and party on Sunday, 13 May at Leichhardt.

The Mass was attended by many of the Italian community of Sydney whom Br Romano has ministered to for many years, plus the friars and friends.

May God bless you Romano in your Capuchin life and ministry and may you have many more years of service.
