Capuchin friars, Brandon Berg and Vince Carrasco in San Antonio, Texas have taken up dancing during the quarantine. <\/p>\n
VINCE CARRASCO<\/strong> BRANDON BERG<\/strong> The Capuchin sense of humor was also seen in the past, with \u201cThe Mannequin Challenge.\u201d <\/p>\n Now, the two friars play music and have their own podcast, \u201cThe Brother Hut.\u201d They consider it one of their ministries to explain their vocation, especially to youth.<\/p>\n In fact, youth ministry and watching his father's conversion helped solidify the faith for Br. Vince, planting missionary seeds in his heart. <\/p>\n VINCE CARRASCO <\/strong> Br. Brandon, on the other hand, heard his vocation loud and clear before deciding to pursue it. <\/p>\n BRANDON BERG<\/strong> After much prayer and discernment over which type of priest he should be, Brandon felt called to be a Franciscan friar. <\/p>\n Now, both in their vocation, they hope their stories and lives will help lead people closer to Christ. It could be in the form of a dance, a song or through the ordinary conversations on their podcast, \u201cThe Brother Hut,\u201d but they hope to spread the Gospel to the world, all the way from Texas.<\/p>\n Melissa Butz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 2, 2020.

\n \u201cWe thought it would be a cool idea to reach out to the folks, to give them a little joy, a little smile.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe're not able to be with each other physically, so social media has really filled this gap for us of being able to relate to each other.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI feel like my vocation can speak to the youth in a way that is powerful for them. Hopefully help them to discover freedom, discover who they are, discover that it's okay to follow Francis in a habit or it's okay to be a disciple of Christ.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI prayed in front of a statue of Mary. I prayed the Memorare prayer. In that moment of authentic prayer from my heart for genuine guidance from God, I heard the words, \u201cBe a priest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
