As Franciscan Hermits,
We Work and Pray to “Rebuild the Church” and Promote World Peace.
We Cherish Substantial Silence, Substantial Solitude, Prayer and Penance.
We Focus on what UNITES us as Franciscans and Christians, rather than what Divides us.

Polish martyrs beatified in Peru

12/6/2015

 
Picture
"Some 20,000 people are expected to attend today’s beatification ceremony in the town of Chimbote of three Peruvian Martyrs, two Polish Franciscan friars and an Italian priest killed by guerillas in 1991....

Michał Tomaszek, Zbigniew Strzałkowski and Alessandro Dordi were killed by the guerrillas of Shining Path, Peru’s Maoist insurgency. They were targeted because of their pastoral work among the inhabitants of the Andes and the assistance they granted to those in need. In August 1991, the guerrillas escalated their violence against the Roman Catholic Church and announced that they would kill a priest every week in the Diocese of Chimbote. The first priest they picked out luckily escaped execution. On 9 August, they abducted two Polish friars from the church at the end of the evening's Eucharistic celebration. After a brief show trial, they were led out of the village and killed near the cemetery, along with the local mayor. On 25 August, they ambushed the car in which Father Alessandro Dordi was travelling to a church and executed him after he got out of the vehicle."

Blankets for the Franciscan Kitchen Homeless

12/6/2015

 
Picture
"The Franciscan Kitchen in downtown Louisville serves lunch to 400 - 500 homeless and poor Mondays through Fridays. When asked what could be done to help, I was told they need blankets to ward off the cold, some to use in the shelters, some will not come in off the streets. William and I set about trying to collect 400 - 500 blankets. We currently have 187. Maybe you'd like to help but see blankets aren't cheap! Maybe you can just donate a little and your money will be pooled with others to buy more blankets. Any money donated will be used to buy more blankets."

"STEUBENVILLE - The Rev. Richard Davis, TOR, returned to the university campus where he spent 21 years as one of four former Franciscan University of Steubenville employees to be honored by the school at the 66th annual Founders' Association Dinner Saturday night."I ran this dinner for so many years and I never thought I would be asked for this. I am truly honored and humbled. So many others deserve this this honor more than I do but I am very appreciative," said Davis.
Davis left the university in 2013 to become minister provincial for the Province of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus of the Third Order Regular Franciscans and also serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees at Franciscan University and the University of St. Francis."
