Back to the Capuchin Franciscans, in a roundabout way
TORONTO - To minister or not to minister is no longer the question for Jonathan Andrews, who earlier this year quit his job to become a full-time candidate for the Capuchin Franciscans.

“I felt that there was no higher purpose. I had no spiritual thing.”
