“The Practice of the Presence of God”
This small book, written over 300 years ago by Brother Lawrence, is a favorite book of Pope Leo. We will briefly investigate the highlights from the book. (You don’t have to have read the book to join with us.) It might be an important four hours for you to spend awaiting the beginning of autumn. We will pray together, discuss together, have silent periods to be outside; and lunch. Come for an end-of-summer treat for your Self!
————————————————
Saturdays with St. Francis occur once a month, from 10:00am until 2:00pm, lunch included. Brother Mark has designed each Saturday program as a 4-hour reflection time for you. Each monthly Saturday session is like a mini-retreat, long enough to unwind and breathe. Each Saturday stands on its own–with topical themes (this is not a series).
Franciscan values and spirituality are important for anyone attempting to deal with the ups and downs of modern life. There is nothing finer in our fast-paced lives than to take time for your Self…. The pace of our sessions is easy-going and reflective. You can come early and/or stay later to enjoy the prayerfulness of our grounds.
Please mark your calendar for the following date for Saturdays with St. Francis for 2026: September 12; October 10; November 7; December 12. Cost is $40 per person including lunch. From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
