Celebrate Advent and the arrival of Christmas with scripture, prayer and song hosted by the Capuchin Franciscan friars of the Province of St. Joseph. We will mark the 800th anniversary of the first nativity scene, established by St. Francis in the town of Greccio, Italy.
We have heard and we know from our life’s experiences that trauma redeemed, as well as the Gospel spirit of poverty, are fundamental for understanding St Francis and his power in the world and in the history of the Church, as well as in his humble son Blessed Solanus
