July – November, 2026 Saint Bonaventure Room 9:00 am – 11:00 am Presented by Fr. Tom Czeck, OFM Conv.
800 years ago on October 3, the great Poverello of Assisi (St. Francis) experienced his transitus—the passing from this world to the next, as he met Sister Death. In honor of this extraordinary saint, on January 7, 2026, Pope Leo XIV sent a letter to the Ministers General of the Conference of the Franciscan Family officially opening the Year of Saint Francis (January 10, 2026 to January 10, 2027).
During this time, Pope Leo encourages all members of the Franciscan family and all members of the faithful, to look to Saint Francis and pray that he may “instill in all of us perfect joy and harmony.” In answer to this call you are invited to pray with our Franciscan Saints. We will learn about the Franciscan Saints in our chapel and the spirituality that changed the world in which they lived. Join Me for pastries and coffee in the Saint Bonaventure Room from 9:00 am-11:00 am on select Saturday mornings each month from July–November! REGISTER BELOW $50 for all 5 sessions $25 for individual sessions Registration Required, No Refunds __________________
