Join us for this Day of reflection. Knights from all districts are welcome, as well as men seeking to grow in their faith.
Theme: Everyday Holiness – The Holy Spirit inspires all Christians to holiness through baptism. Holiness is not only for the saints, for the clergy, or religious. Each of us, through our faith and commitment to Christ, are witnesses of holiness.
Please, join the Capuchins and the whole Franciscan family as we commemorate the Transitus – the passing into eternal life – of Saint Francis of Assisi. The service will begin at 7 PM, followed by some refreshments.
Tonight is when all the Franciscans around the globe and all who cherish the memory of St. Francis gather to remember and tell stories.
We have a simple story to tell: the story of Francis’ Transitus – or passage – from this life to eternal life.
And we tell the story in the simple and faith-filled words of Thomas of Celano, one of the early biographers of Francis.
We tell this story to remember our heritage, renew our Christian faith, and evoke our Christian hope, after the example of our Seraphic Saint. Francis of Assisi
Join us for a Morning of Reflection with Br. David Hirt, OFM Cap. who will be presenting the topic: “Humility and God’s Will: A Franciscan View.”
The morning will focus on a few key moments in the life of St. Francis that illuminate Franciscan discernment. Br. David will take retreatants through a reflection on St. Francis’s spirit of minority in relation to sacred scripture, spiritual guidance, community, and freedom and how this ties into a Franciscan sense of vocation or calling. The sessions will have a strong Lenten theme during discussion on periods in Francis’ life.
