In the video on this page, Howard Ainsworth talks about his vocation discernment with the Conventual Franciscan Friars at St. Mary's, Above Rocks, and Missions in Jamaica. The friars and Franciscan sisters run St. Mary's where they provide education, pastoral care, and various other services the purpose of which is to empower the local population.

Howard is drawn to the Conventual Franciscans because of their sense of community as well as their need to serve to others. He has a deep sense of faith and is very glad to have the chance to get to know the Order of Friars Minor Conventual on an even deeper level.
