In the presence of Our Lady of the Angels Province Definitors, Novice Christopher M. Fernández, and Franciscan Mission Association (FMA) staff members Reilly Gates and Joseph Hamilton, our Minister Provincial, the Very Reverend Fr. James McCurry and our Province Secretary, Fr. Richard-Jacob Forcier, blessed nearly 6,000 philosophy and theology books bound for the Order’s seminary in Accra, Ghana. Collected over the course of three months through the FMA office in Ellicott City, MD, these books were donated by friars, friaries, and ministries across the country as well as Diocesan friends of friars.

This book drive for the seminary in Ghana has exceeded our book drive two years ago for our seminary in Sri Lanka! The FMA thanks our many benefactors who helped make this shipment possible!
