Franciscan Way
The Franciscan Way programs will provide opportunities for the following:
- Learning the historical and spiritual legacy of St. Francis of Assisi and what that legacy means for us today.
- Learning about the human personality.
- Learning new ways of communicating that offer alternatives to "not knowing what to say or how to say it."
- Getting honest about how we take care of our physical bodies.
- Learning about contemplative prayer and practicing it on a regular basis.
- Learning the art of "slowing down.”
Our Franciscan mission is to present programs that inspire Catholics and non-Catholics alike to keep focused on God as the center of all life. We desire to bring comfort to the sorrowing and discomfort to the too comfortable. Our message, like the message of St. Francis, is rooted in the Scriptures and intentionally provokes more questions than gives easy answers. Please join us and bring a friend.
