Mokry Moroccan Custos
Former
Newman Theological College Professor
and Provincial Minister of the
Franciscans of Western Canada,
Robert Mokry, OFM, has been named
“Custos” of new Franciscan entity in
Morocco. A Custos is the equivalent
to a Provincial in a community that
remains a “Custody” of a more
established Province. In an unusual
scenario, the Moroccan Custody
belongs to the Franciscan General
Curia, and Mokry reports directly to
cont.
the Franciscan General Minister, Jose Carballo, OFM.
Surprised by
the appointment, which came recently at Morocco’s first
electoral gathering of Friars in Marrakech, Morocco, where Mokry has
been working for 3 years. Western Canadian Provincial, Dennis
Vavrek, OFM invited Friar Bob’s confreres to congratulate their
brother on his new endeavour.
