🕊️ Journey with a Saint: "Saturdays with St. Francis" 🕊️
In our fast-paced world, where is the space to nurture your spirit and reconnect with what truly matters? We invite you to discover monthly sanctuary in our new series: "Saturdays with St. Francis."
Step into the wisdom of a humble saint whose 800-year-old vision speaks profoundly to our modern hearts. As Pope Francis reminds us: "Saint Francis shows us just how inseparable the bond is between concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and interior peace."
Each month, immerse yourself in:
🙏Communal prayer that opens your heart
💡Enriching dialogue that expands your perspective
🧘Sacred silence that deepens your connection to the Divine
🌱A nourishing lunch in community
Our inaugural gathering on May 10th explores our relationship with Creation. How might Francis' revolutionary understanding of Incarnation transform how we experience the natural world right outside our windows? Together, we'll discover practical ways to respond to climate change and celebrate our Creator with gratitude.
Led by Brother Mark Schroeder, O.F.M., a Franciscan friar with over 40 years of spiritual wisdom, each retreat brings the "Franciscan spin" – embracing diverse spiritual paths, nurturing self-care, and inspiring meaningful action in our everyday lives.
