Meet Our Student- Friar Pedro Lopez

Meet our student, Friar Pedro Lopez, he is currently a postulant from Our Lady of Consolation working on his second year of Philosophy in San Antonio, Texas. Friar Pedro was born on November 7th in Sunland Park, New Mexico. He enjoys to work out and watch Youtube and Netflix. He ministers to the men and women in prison in San Antonio. Friar Pedro believes that Franciscan fraternity is what he enjoys the most about Franciscan life.

His advice to those discerning is:

"Make time to talk to God and ask Him, what is it that He wants from you. Attend vocational retreats, and find out what religious charism/Order/congregation attracts you, what attracts you about the charism/Order/congregation, and ask yourself why does it attract you. Do you see yourself taking part of that charism/Order/congregation? And most importantly ask yourself, do you feel at home with that religious congregation or Order?"
