...to all who seek connecting with companions on the journey. Living Gospel and Franciscan values in the world is a 24/7 call to holiness in humility and joy. By sharing our stories we find Gospel refreshment. We strive to give witness to God's active love in the world and "put on Franciscan habits" such as:
>> compassionate service to the poor
>> hospitality and caring conversation
>> environment stewardship and justice
>> peacemaking and reconciliation
>> faith integrity and interfaith dialogue
>> study, contemplation and prayer
Friends are welcome to support this ministry with your volunteer time and financial donations.
