Fr. Hyacinth Epp, O.F.M.Cap. was the first Capuchin Franciscan to arrive in Kansas on January 25,1878. From his ministry flows 135 years of Capuchin Franciscan ministry bringing us to a continued Capuchin presence in Kansas and Colorado as well as various ministries foreign (Papua New Guinea) and here.
