For starters, what was a friary–some- thing most people identify with medieval times–doing in the middle of Harlem? I found out when I arrived at St. Joseph Friary, a red brick building on West 142nd Street. “Every community must have a particular purpose,” Father Gabriel, the friar responsible for St. Joseph, explained, “and this community’s vocation is to serve the poor. How could we serve those in need if we were not living among them? Our presence here gives dignity to those who need our help.” The friars and postulants living at St. Joseph Friary belong to the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, an order founded in 1987 by eight Capuchin friars. Concerned by increasing secularism and wealth among the Capuchins, they sought to emulate Francis of Assisi, who Jamal Huleatt, who graduated from high school in 2015, is volunteering at Fox Hill Bruderhof in Walden, New York.
