Fr. John Quigley, OFM, is approaching his 82nd birthday having devoted more than six decades to Franciscan life. That ministry has been a varied one: co-leader of New Jerusalem, a vibrant charismatic community in Cincinnati; work on behalf of the promotion and protection of human rights with the United Nations;  peace, justice and environmental concerns with the Franciscans, as well as on the world stage; extensive travels around the world, retreat work and preaching and, in recent years, artistry created in his Cincinnati studio.

Father David Phan, OFM, sees himself as a missionary, traversing the cities, small towns and rural villages of South Carolina, serving small parish communities around the state. Each year, his Toyota goes through more than 50,000 miles. It’s a practical vehicle.
