đď¸ Journey with a Saint: "Saturdays with St. Francis" đď¸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:
đCommunal prayer that opens your heart
đĄEnriching dialogue that expands your perspective
đ§Sacred silence that deepens your connection to the Divine
đąA nourishing lunch in community
November 22nd:
Itâs Autumn! Life Lessons from a Squirrel
Come spend 4 hours with usâexploring the Beauty of Autumn AND finding what we can learn from those cute squirrels who play in the fallen leaves. We will blend silence, discussion, scripture and prayer â along with lunch â for a crisp, yellow-and-orange-hued day together. 10AM until 2PM.
What can we learn from our squirrel friends?
1. We can find the Beauty in all of creation.
2. We can learn to adapt and adjust.
3. We can understand that God has set a rhythm for life.
4. We can understand that God has called us to be lifelong learners.
5. We can understand that God wants us to live life to its fullest!
Led by Brother Mark Schroeder, O.F.M., a Franciscan friar with over 40 years of spiritual wisdom, each retreat brings the "Franciscan spin" â embracing diverse spiritual paths, nurturing self-care, and inspiring meaningful action in our everyday lives.
