They need more vocations. At least five or six friars to start a new foundation. There are about 20 at this mother house, 9 or 10 at the noviciate house and seven at another foundation in France.
The Franciscan life is dedicated to the poor. I don't understand why these monks are secluded and claim to be Franciscans be a proper monk if you want but the Franciscan life is seriously active WITH THE POOR
Dear friend, I hope you (and anyone else with doubts) would write a letter to the friars at Morgon, and hear back yourself about their life and work. The video shows merely the interior community and some parish life, not the apostolic work of the friars. The order is composed of mostly priests, who by the nature of their vocation have care of the spiritual needs of the laity. The priests there are almost overextended in their apostolate amongst the faithful. Some have occasionally travelled to the Middle-East to provide support to the overwhelmed clergy there. Nevertheless the rule of Saint Francis, which is very adaptable in-itself (countless variances of cloistered and active orders through these 800 years, male and female), and the pre-1970 Capuchin Constitutions are followed strictly, as they have been for nearly 500 years. These older constitutions can easily be found online, for a more comprehensive view of the life and franciscan spirit, along with very many commentaries available. Helping the materially impoverished is certainly a work of mercy. During my stay there, I saw brothers frequently helping the poor and needy at the door. The friary is located close to Lyon, where there are very many homeless and refugees that come through. Yet higher are the spiritual works of mercy, instruct the ignorant, etc... and also providing the sacramental life to very many faithful. The Capuchin Franciscans have always been a preaching order. A kind of missionary-monk. (Hope this helps, though it might be vain to expect a thorough answer in a youtube comment about a tiny religious community, which few have observed.) Pax et Bonum!

I hope there will be a short docu like this inside the walls of the Dominican convent, the one affiliated too with the SSPX, where now in France.
I agree!The faithful never get to see videos of these congregations attached to the SSPX.
Wich name of this convent?
So, happy and grateful for the one who made and upload this video. Thank you very much!

It's a curious archaeological convent.
It was originally a farm house attached to the surrounding vineyards I believe. The chapel with a low oval ceiling is the original wine cellar.
