Acceptance and eternal vows of Third order of St. Francis


Under the evening Holy Mass on February 17th at the Church of St. Anthony of Padua in Busovača, receiving and giving of the lifelong vows to members of the Franciscan secular order was arranged.

Two sisters - Lucia Vuleta and Kristina Ćosić were accepted into the local fraternity, and six made lifelong vows.

The ceremony and the Holy Mass, attended by the Deputy Minister of the Regional Fraternity Gordana Ljubos, were led by the spiritual assistant of the FSR in Busovača, OFM Božidar Štrkalj, with the concelebration of OFM Ivica Matičić and OFM Pero Vrebac.

Jan Badrov and Irena Čavar animated the liturgical celebration with their singing and playing.

FSR members of the Busovača parish were preparing for this rite with a two-day spiritual renewal in which they discussed biblical and Franciscan texts and topics. With prayer and brotherly love and their presence, the members of the Third order, were supported by the members of the Franciscan secular order of the Lašva area.

After the Eucharist, the socialising continued in the studies hall.
