Friar Rick Riccioli, OFM Conv., Director of FrancisCorps (a young-adult Franciscan service experience program based in Syracuse, NY) directed a retreat for young adults – Pope Francis on Twitter – this past weekend at our Retreat Center in Prior Lake, MN. Tweeting, texting, and posting were encouraged. There was time for discussion, presentations, and lots of laughter, as well as time for quiet reflection and prayer.

Friars John Pozhathuparambil, Rick Riccioli, Tony Vattaparambil, and Bob Roddy (Friars John and Tony are from St. Maximilian Kolbe Province in India but are currently working in the US at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY, and on a project focusing on young adult faith formation - the Kentucky-Kerala project.)

“Remember when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received – only what you have given.”

-St. Francis of Assisi

Since the time of St. Francis and his first followers, our ministries, our ability to serve those in need, the education of new Friars, the care of our senior men all are possible with the partnership of our benefactors. Your generosity makes these stories possible.
