The St. Lawrence of Brindisi Projectof the Capuchin Friars Minor

The St. Lawrence of Brindisi Fraternitieswhich untilrecently were referred to as Project Europe – have ahistory. These fraternities did not come into beingovernight, nor were they the result of some arbitrarydecision handed down “from on high.” Rather, they were the resultof meetings which produced in the brothers a growing desire to “fan– together – the flame of our charism.”More than a decade ago, numerous factors contributed to thelaunching of this initiative. Undoubtedly first of all, should bementioned the impact of the December 8, 2008 circular letter of Br.Mauro Jöhri, General Minister, entitled Let us fan the flame of ourcharism!Many gladly welcomed this strong appeal as an invitation totake up the challenge “in a spirit of fraternity and an atmosphere ofcommunion”
