Havana – Conventual Franciscan friars were the first new religious community to enter Cuba since 1959, that is, since the beginning of the Revolution. In addition to Matanzas, the friars have been present in Havana since 2009. They are at the service of the Church, adapting to local needs: the main field has been pastoral service, also because it remains very difficult to engage in other sectors.
