Friars from the Province opened a mission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1946. They became a Custody in 1969. The friars now have friaries and parishes in Rio de Janeiro, Araruama, Paraiba do sul, and Juiz de Fora. There are houses of formation in Rio de Janeiro, Petropolis and Andrelandia. Presently there are 29 friars in solemn vows, 4 in first vows and 18 candidates in the Custody. They are working toward achieving Province status in the near future.
