Roving Reporter #41 – Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate go to WYD Sydney, packing their new video camera. ( 7min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

The friars from down under in our Perth, Australian friary just sent this video of their trip to World Youth Day in Sidney (other side of Australia.) Sounds like they and the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims had the experience of a life time. Viva la Papa and God bless Australia!

I might add, this is a fine example of our Australian friar’s new video publishing apostolate and a great step forward in our effort to make AirMaria a worldwide apostolate. Top job mates!

Ave Maria!

The Archdiocese of Sydney’s newspaper has a great article on him and on the FI’s here.
