Benedict Groeschel CFR and his radical band of Franciscans from
the Bronx in New York toured Ireland for the month of July visiting
Clare, Limerick, Cork,Wexford, Galway, Sligo, Derry, Tyrone,
Donegal and Dublin.
Among the team was Br Columba Jordan, a native of Dublin. Br
Columba is the first brother to have joined the community from
Ireland. The Friars began in 1987 when eight friars including
Fr Benedict and Fr Andrew Apostoli, felt called to set up a
new order to work more directly in evangelisation and work for
the poor. At a time when vocations in many orders are falling,
they have grown to 80 friars over the last 15 years from all
over the world attracted by their radical commitment. For more
