Franciscan Month: Message from the Provincial

Dear Friends and Benefactors,
 
Peace and all good to you! On behalf of the Conventual Franciscan friars of St. Bonaventure Province, we offer our heartfelt thanks for your continued prayers, generosity, and friendship. You walk with us in the spirit of St. Francis, and we are deeply grateful.
 
This October, we invite you to join us in celebrating something new: Franciscan Month. Inspired by the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of Creation, Franciscan Month is a time to reflect on our shared kinship with all of God’s creation, to live the Gospel more deeply, and to walk in the footsteps of St. Francis.
