The Secular Franciscans are a community of laypeople within our parish who commit themselves to living the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. They do that by loving and serving the Lord and His people in whatever form of life are in, and in following the Rule for the Third Order that was composed by St. Francis. It is a faith-filled, loving and welcoming fraternity of brothers and sisters who simply want to bring the good news of the Gospel to the world around them in the joyful spirit of St. Francis. They meet every first Saturday of the month at 10:00 A.M. in the conference room of the parish center and all are welcome to join them for that gathering and learn more about them. The next meeting will be on May 4. For more information, please contact Lauren Ingrassia, O.F.S. at 845-419-5254 or at [email protected] Peace and all good!
