Please note our new date, mark your calendars and plan to attend the Franciscan Federation Member Forum via Zoom on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 1pm to 4pm ET | noon to 3pm CT | 11am to 2pm MT | 10am to 1pm PT. Sr. Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ will give our keynote. Her talk, “Attending to the Seeds of a Franciscan Future” will address themes pertinent to us today: What are the seeds of a truly Franciscan renewal of the world? In response to the recent Synod, what Franciscan pathway do we see opening before us? What seeds are sprouting? What is ours to do?

The purpose of the special gathering is to celebrate and inspire all of us as we move forward in these days of new beginnings, transitions, and a renewal of our charism. Our time together will be one of sharing what the Federation has learned and accomplished and of insight and inspiration for shared leadership as Federation members strive to lead an ever-evolving way of life inspired by the Third Order Regular, St. Francis, St. Clare, and the early lay penitents of Assisi. It will be a time to meet the new board members and to express our deepest gratitude to members of the board departing after years of faithful service.

This event is FREE for all members of the Franciscan Federation! Everyone who is interested is also welcome for a fee. Registration will open on November 25.
