St. Francis Shows Us the Way Through Lent

June is often a time when we begin lifetime promises. It is when we frequently celebrate weddings and ordinations to the priesthood. Graduations in this season also unleash the hope of new beginnings and future commitments. At this time of marking promises, we invite you to provide for another kind of promise by creating a lasting legacy of care for the poor and marginalized by remembering the Franciscan

Make the Circle Bigger: How Science and Religion Creates Inclusion

Br. Jimmy Kernan wasn’t out to make a fashion statement, but he wound up making a fashion connection. But again, making connections is what Br. Jimmy does. The day he attended office hours at University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering while wearing his habit, most of his fellow students didn’t flinch. Most of them kept their heads down and worked away. Most of them asked the typical curriculum-related questions. Until one succumbed to the intrigue created by the flowing robe in that famous down-to-earth hue.

Padua Franciscan High School in Ohio Stays True to Its Spiritual Heritage

Making a high school Franciscan doesn’t just happen. It needs to be an intentional process. Case in point: Padua Franciscan High School, straddling the line between the suburb of Parma and the city of Cleveland. The school began in 1961 as a Franciscan school, an all-boys academy.

Franciscan 360: A Safe Place for Comprehensive Compassion

There are 8 million stories in the naked city. This line from a late '50s police TV show is just as accurate today as it was over 70 years ago. It's a perfect metaphor for New York City, whose residents can feel exposed and vulnerable, with problems known to only those who extend a helping hand. Each person who lives in New York City has a unique story and list of needs. For many whose stories lead them to the St. Francis Breadline, also known as Franciscan Bread for the Poor, Inc., the need for nourishment only scratches the surface.

A Friar’s Notes
Stop Walking on Eggshells!

As we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua, I remember making a trip to Padua. Of course, I went to the Basilica of St. Anthony- a magnificent church that houses many of St. Anthony’s relics, including the body of St. Anthony. Thousands of pilgrims come here to ask for the intercession of the Saint of Miracles.

Franciscan Monastery Brings the Holy Land to the Capital 

The conflicts in the Middle East create regular upheaval. But over the past 800 years, two facets have remained stable: the presence of the Franciscans as guardians of the Christian shrines in the Holy Land and their ministry to Christians in the region.

Cincinnati School Marks Nearly a Century of Values Learning

The late Tony Bennett sang about a city by the bay where “the morning fog may chill the air.” For San Francisco lovers, the image is a romantic one. But the morning chill means something different for those who live on the streets of the Tenderloin District. That’s where Brother Andrew Dinegar, OFM, comes in. He will frequently provide blankets, offering those most desperate a respite from the cold, as well as coffee and
