OFM Custos, Custody of St. Anthony (Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei)
Friar Derrick loves music as a way to destress and to praise God, especially when singing with his band, Mystic Font. Apart from music, he enjoys the simplicity of St. Francis to “simply love God and love God simply”.
As a friar, he enjoys spending time for prayer and contemplation, which the friars take priority to do daily. Each day, he continues to learn about the depth and intimacy of Franciscan saints and their own relationships with God.

Spiritual Assistant
Friar John-Paul enjoys hand-cut chips and fries (since he is a FRI-AR), and loves travelling the world for adventure. But beyond that, he was drawn to St. Francis as someone who was charismatic yet led a simple life.
As a friar, he loves how the journey of fraternity is about belonging and growing in maturity. He hopes that Fraternitas can be a vehicle to provide youths and young people with an ecosystem in their faith journey.
“Eight hundred years of Franciscan living has given the Church a rich patrimony of Franciscan Spirituality that I think the world is greatly in need of.”
