SUMMARY:Virtual Series: "Celebrating the Canticle with St. Bonaventure with Pat Doody\, OSF" (Partner Event)

St. Francis wrote the beloved Canticle of Creation in 1225\, praising God’s profound goodness present in all God’s creation. St. Bonaventure developed a spiritual theology that enhances our understanding\, prayer\, and reflection on this masterful work. During these evenings\, we will listen to the ancient wisdom of St. Francis and St. Bonaventure and how their wisdom speaks to our contemporary realities of change\, chaos\, and uncertainty. As we commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of Creation\, as well as the feast day of St. Bonaventure on July 15\, we will share the timeless treasure of their spirituality\, continuing to give us nourishment for today. \n\n\n\nOriginally from Atlanta\, Georgia\, Sr. Pat Doody has been a Sister of St. Francis of Dubuque\, Iowa\, for 39 years. Sr. Pat’s background includes ministry as an English and theology teacher in Catholic high schools in Iowa and Chicago\, parish faith formation director/pastoral associate in multi-cultural parishes in Chicago and Mississippi\, and director of novices for the Third Order Regular Franciscan Common Novitiate in St. Louis.

SUMMARY:Q&A Webinar - Franciscans International at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
DESCRIPTION:On March 11-21 the world comes together at the United Nations in New York City for the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The CSW was established in 1946 as a UN body to promote the rights of women and girls throughout the world\, to document the realities that women and girls experience in all parts of the globe\, and to form international standards to empower women and girls and to promote gender equality. \n\n\n\nThis year\, the 69th CSW is dedicated to an evaluation of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in its thirtieth anniversary year. As the Beijing Declaration covers a wide range of matters relating to the rights of women and girls everywhere\, this also relates to the work of many Franciscans throughout the world. \n\n\n\nDuring this year’s CSW a delegation made up of Eileen DeGuire and Rosie Davila of the Franciscan Action Network and Kelly Moltzen\, OFS\, co-chair of the JPIC Commission of the Franciscan Federation (USA)\, will participate with Franciscans International at the events of the conference\, together with Marya Farah\, FI Representative at the UN in New York and Br. James Donegan\, OFM Cap\, Franciscan Liaison Officer. This will provide not only an opportunity to see how the issues of rights for women and girls are addressed on the global stage\, but also the possibility to explore how we could further work together as Franciscan entities and institutions in the promotion of Human Rights and Environmental Justice both in the context of the matters discussed at the CSW and beyond. \n\n\n\nAs a result\, all Franciscans and people connected with Franciscans are invited to join us for a Q&A webinar during this important event on Friday\, March 14 at 2:30pm New York time / 11:30am California time / 7:30pm Geneva time. To participate please click here. We will begin with a general discussion and then take your questions via Zoom. We hope to see you there. Pax et bonum! \n\n\n\nFor more information or with any questions please write to Br. James Donegan\, OFM Cap. at j.donegan@franciscansinternational.org.

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? \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nThis event is FREE for all members of the Franciscan Federation! Everyone else who is interested but is not a member is also welcome\, for a fee.

How to ground that vision—ecologically and spiritually—remains a formidable challenge\, the aspects of which will be explored in this retreat/workshop.  \n\n\n\nCome spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland. Spend the afternoon and evenings in reflection at Prairiewoods or in your own home.  \n\n\n\nAbout Diarmuid O’Murchu\n\n\n\nDiarmuid O’Murchu\, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order and a graduate of Trinity College in Dublin\, Ireland\, is a social psychologist whose early working life had been in social ministry\, predominantly in London. A long-time friend of Prairiewoods\, in his more recent years\, he has worked as a workshop leader and group facilitator\, conducting programs on Adult Faith Development across several countries. He is a widely read author\, whose many books have long resided on the shelves and in the hands of Prairiewoods guests. Now as a retired missionary\, he lives in Dublin. For more information\, visit www.diarmuidomurchu.com or read his latest book\, Ecological Spirituality. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThe author will attend via Zoom\, and participants are invited to join in person or via Zoom.  \n\n\n\n\nThe in-person cost is $230 and includes Wednesday and Thursday lodging and Wednesday lunch through Friday lunch. \n\n\n\nThe commuter fee is $150 and includes three morning presentations and daily lunch. \n\n\n\nThe online only fee is $100 and includes three morning presentations.\n\n\n\n\nFor more information or to register\, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.
