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 Kerala-Kentucky project.)
