The Franciscan sisters of Greenwood joined St. Francis of Assisi “Newly forming” Secular Franciscans who gathered Sunday for an Advent prayer service, food and fun.
-
- The Angelus was the theme Karen used for the inspiring prayer service.
-
- All reflected on the events of that first Advent.
-
- Sister Kathleen accompanied us on the keyboard.
A delicious potluck followed the Prayer Service with laughter and fun.
-
- A beautiful table appeared with everyone’s contributions.
-
- The Sisters and Seculars enjoyed their Franciscan time together.
Then came “Dirty Santa” and more fun!
-
- So what does this little package hold?
-
- Sister Kathleen explores folded up newspaper!
-
- Oh, a beautiful wooden piece St. Francis and the wolf of Gubbio.
-
- “Trust in the Lord”! Please don’t take it from me!
After the “taking of gifts” that comes in the Dirty Santa fun there remained one gift to open.
A gift to the Fraternity of a small statue of the Secular Franciscans patrons; St. Louis and St. Elizabeth on either side of St. Francis.
