“Brother Carmelo preaching to the fish,” Franciscan Kasper Mariusz Kaproń, who posted the pictures online wrote.
He even was honored with a formal title Friar Bigotón, meaning “mustache” in Spanish.
And while he is loving his new life, so is the community.
“His life is all about playing and running,” Jorge Fernandez told The Dodo. “Here, all of the brothers love him very much. He is a creature of God.”
