There will be time for sharing\, reflection and journaling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur facilitator\, Laura Desmaris explored meditation while living in India over ten years ago. Since then she found herself drawn to Centering Prayer and has been influenced by Thomas Keating and Cynthia Bourgeault – combining all of her prayer and meditation experiences to create this offering. She is a Spiritual Director and has led Centering Prayer with Sr Pat Irr\, OSF in prior seasons at Tau Center.

John served his Province in initial formation of friars from 1981-1995\, teaching in the Religious Studies Department of Borromeo Seminary in Cleveland\, OH\, from 1982-1990 and on the staff of his Province’s novitiate from 1990-1995. After studies in Rome and two terms as Secretary to his Provincial Minister in Pittsburgh\, PA\, he was called by the Order to serve as Vice Rector\, Prefect of Studies and Liturgical Director of the Collegio San Lorenzo\, the International House of Graduate Studies for the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Rome (2004-2010).An avid musician\, animating Liturgies for both National and International gatherings of Friars and Sisters\, John was a regular contributor to Weekday & Sunday Homily Helps (1983-2018) for Franciscan Media (formerly St. Anthony Press) and serves on the staff of the Franciscan Pilgrimages Program which provides pilgrimage and study experiences in Assisi and Rome\, Italy.John is a member of the St. Augustine Province of the Capuchin Franciscans (serving the Middle Atlantic States) and resides with three other friars at St. Fidelis Friary\, Beaver\, PA. He also serves as Archivist for his Province and as the administrator of his Province’s website\, capuchin.com. \n\n\n\nShow less\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the Franciscan Day Retreat:\n\n\n\n\nIt was written that Francis of Assisi could be heard in prayer asking “Who are you\, Lord\, and who am I?” Clare of Assisi would use the word “ineffable” (inexpressible\, indefinable) when contemplating the Lord’s love and poverty. \n\n\n\nShow more\n\n\n\nIn both cases\, their Franciscan journeys are marked by Mystery. We search to “know God\,” even while we cannot understand. It doesn’t mean that God can “never” be known; but it does mean that we come to know more in time\, in an eternal unfolding of our lives in relationship with the things and people we encounter on a pilgrim way.When Abraham promised ‘fidelity’ to a Covenant with a personal God\, he surely had no idea what he was “in for.” God’s promise is fulfilled in Jesus Christ who invites those who ‘follow him’ into a relationship which finds unfolds its meaning by experience. Like the first disciples\, we are never quite sure what we’re “in for” either.The retreat explores Scripture’s challenge to fidelity\, to courage and to hope while we allow our God of the Incarnation to remain a Mystery – grasping to understand\, as time unravels\, that we do not fully understand. Taking the Incarnation seriously can show us the way\, as it did for Francis and Clare. By being attentive to the mystery of our humanity\, of the humanity of our Founders and the humanity of those we encounter\, we follow the Spirit’s lead to enter the Mystery of God’s unfolding life and grace.And the more we know\, the more we know we don’t know — and that’s “knowing” something\, isn’t it? \n\n\n\nShow less\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding Information\n\n\n\n\nWe ask all participants to be vaccinated and boosted to the extent possible.\n\n\n\nIf you are feeling ill\, please join us through Livestream\n\n\n\nPlease continue to stay connected with us through this newsletter and Livestream.\n\n\n\n\nAnnouncements and schedule changes are listed on our website and we encourage you to frequent our Events Calendar for current event information.

The Poor Clare’s lived at San Damiano\, one of the small churches repaired by St. Francis.
