A New Face at Marytown

Please join us in welcoming Friar Boniface Nzioki Muia to the United States and St. Bonaventure Province. He will be in residence at Marytown, the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe, learning the art of habit making under the tutelage of the maestro of habit making himself, Br. Augustine. Father Boniface will also help with confessions and Masses at Marytown after getting settled and receiving faculties. Please pray for our brother as he gets settled and begins his time in our Province.
