Dear Brother Priests in Christ,
I happy to inform you that the Capuchin Franciscan Friars of the Province of the Sacred Stigmata of St. Francis have established a Friary in South Fulton County. Their purpose is to live a communal life dedicated to serving the poor.
Currently, there are two friars available to assist with Mass coverage, confessions, parish missions, days of recollection, etc. Both friars can celebrate Mass in Spanish and one of them, Father Perez, is bilingual and is available to celebrate Mass in English and Spanish. The friars are not parish based and will need to be compensated on a stipend basis.
Their contact information is as follows:
Father Robert Perez, OFM Cap.
Father Praveen Turaka, OFM Cap.
Our Lady of the Angels Friary
5355 Willow Park Boulevard
Atlanta, GA 30349

In Christ,
The Most Reverend Bernard E. Shlesinger III
Auxiliary Bishop of Atlanta
