Each year, St. Mark's University Parish at UCSB welcomes novices from the Franciscan Capuchin national novitiate at San Lorenzo, Santa Ynez. These novices will be present on Fridays during the Fall, Winter and Spring quarters, and generally focus on graudate student ministry. This year, our friar novices are:
Baudry Metangmo, OFM, cap
from Cameroon
Graduated from Montana State, Billings (mathematics)
Collin Kourtz, OFM, cap
from Fairfax, VA
Graduated from Loyola U, Baltimore, MD (engineering)
