On Saturday, November 9, 2024, we had our annual chapter (regional) gathering was held in Rolla, MO.
Secular Franciscans from across the St. Clare Region were present.
As Secular Franciscans, we are called to the continual renewal of rebuilding the church within our own parishes, our own communities, and our own families. Our way of life must be visible, palatable to all who meet us. Franciscans especially focus on these three charisms - The Incarnation of Christ; the Suffering and Crucifixion of Christ; and the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
