With God, All Things are Possible – ‘Honorary Friar’ Januarius
Two years ago, Januarius was diagnosed with an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The Make-A-Wish Foundation (Singapore) has granted Januarius’ wish to become a Franciscan friar. He was brought to Greccio Friary and spend a day with the friars. It was a memorable and special day for him and his family as well as the friars.
Today, we rejoice in thanksgiving as Januarius does not need further chemotherapy session anymore. Watch the video below to follow Januarius latest and inspiring faith journey!

Throw back to 10th November 2019 when Januarius was invited to share his life story at the Franciscan Vocation Evening with a group of young men.
