Archdiocesan native professes vows in Minnesota

Franciscan Brother of Peace Patrick Hunter professed temporary vows of poverty, chastity and obedience on Oct. 4 at the community’s chapel at Queen of Peace Friary in St. Paul, Minn.

Formerly a member of St. Magdalene Parish in New Marion, Brother Patrick was baptized Kevin Christopher Hunter. He is the son of St. Magdalene parishioners Jerry and Mary Jane Hunter.

Before joining the Brothers of Peace, Brother Patrick served as a Providence Volunteer Minister with the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods at Holy Trinity Adult Day Care and A Caring Place Adult Day Care, both in Indianapolis. He also volunteered for a period in the Louisville and New Albany area.

The Brothers of Peace were established in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 1982. Members devote their lives to prayer, repentance and ministry in a variety of pro-life causes.
