Bro. James Receives the Pro Fidelitate et Virtute Award

On April 22, 2006, Bro. James Curran, l.b.s.f., received the Pro Fidelitate et Virtute Award from the Institute on Religious Life in the Chicago area. Brother James, the founder of the Little Brothers of St. Francis, was selected as this year's awardee in recognition of his fine example in faithfully living out his vocation to the religious brotherhood, and for his multifacted contributions to the mission of the Institute on Religious Life since its early years. Below are some remembrances of that event.
