Here is a slide show of our Friars in New Bedford filmed over a period of 19 months (~2005-2006) by award winning photojournalist Peter Pereira, also from New Bedford. He filmed the entire series in black and white Kodak film, the old fashioned way. He even filmed some of the friars on errands away from the friary. He did an extraordinary job. Thank you, Peter.

Or you can order the book (not associated with friar’s Academy of the Immaculate. Revenue from sale of this book goes solely to pay for Peter Pereira expenses as he financed the entire printing himself.)

Drinking on the job (coffee), me at the the FI book stall.

Two book stalls, the FIs and another local theological book seller toward the back.

+

Much of the art in the building was modern and strange but I liked this one.

+

The library was pretty nice.

They had some beautiful models of churches on display in the lobby.

Here’s another

Fr. Peter Fehlner, FI and Dr. Timothy Noone having a discussion. Someone has to tell that other friar not to look at the camera!

The panel discussion

Even Dominicans can enjoy a good Scotistic talk

+

“Wait, are you trying tell me that prime matter actually exists?!!”

Just kidding, making up a Franciscan caption. (Whether prime matter exists by itself or not is a hotly debated subject between Franciscans and Dominicans but such contentious issues were not discussed at the symposium)

Sr. Mary Beth Ingham gives the Keynote Address for the Symposium.

Fr. Edward Ondrako gives his lecture

Clearing up those lingering questions

A reminder that there are people that spend their day in this weather, walking from block to block aimlessly, looked upon as an unpleasant obstacle up ahead on the side walk.

Look closely.
