Our Fraternity
Br. Martin Sanderson - Guardian
I love being in Oxford and my life in the fraternity. I was recently ordained as a priest. My last time here was as a student a number of years ago. Thank you for your warm welcome and I look forward to meeting everyone in the community.

Born and raised in Poland until I was 14. Before arriving at Greyfriars, I was the guardian of our community at Erith and parish priest of Our Lady of the Angels, Erith, Kent. I enjoy learning foreign languages.

Before Oxford I was in the friary in Pantasaph in North Wales. Originally I’m from the North East of England.
Br. Lucjan Zaniewski
My name is brother Lucjan. I joined the Order 30 years ago, in Poland. My vocation was supported out of a desire to help other people, especially the homeless, and I try to do it to this day, though in various forms. I came to England in 2007 to share our Capuchin charism with the brothers who live here. I am currently looking after our brother Ambrose, and I look after our garden too. I would also like to continue my volunteer ministry in Gatehouse.
