About the year
In June 2023, the Franciscan Federation announced 2024 A Year of Listening & Learning to offer members the opportunity to voice their aspirations and desires for the Federation. As the Transformation Process comes to completion, the National Board and Staff view the input of our members as vital to the ongoing growth and development of the Federation.
Sponsorship Opportunities
As the Federation seeks to engage our members in this final year of the Transformation process, we are incredibly grateful to our benefactors who financially support these efforts! Please consider becoming a sponsor for our Year of Listening & Learning.
Special Event in California
Join us for a special evening of Franciscan storytelling, networking, and recognitions. Featuring a reception with Dr. Darleen Pryds sharing surprising stories of some early followers of Francis from her book “Women of the Streets,” music and storytelling from the beloved musician Jesse Manibusan, and the beautiful artwork of Jen Norton. We will also be honoring the work of Faithful Fools, an amazing street ministry in the Tenderloin District in San Francisco.
Free willing offering will be accepted at the door. Books, CDs and artwork will also all be available for sale at the event. Please join us for this special night!
If you plan on attending this event, please email Eunice@franfed.org to let us know you’re coming!
