Quiet, Prayerful, and Reflective Places at St. Francis Park

 

 

 

FSSJ Chapel

Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose his Pontifical name after the Patron of Ecology, St. Francis of Assisi.  In his Encyclical entitled ‘Laudato si” (Praise, be to you, Lord), Pope Francis challenges our responsibility to respect, protect and care for all of Creation. This responsibility includes the earth and all its people, especially the poor; wherever abuse or inequality exists. How will we respond?

FSSJ Grotto

A Gift to of Personal Time and Space

Places of quiet and beauty offer a peace that slows us down.  If we are open, it graces us with the opportunity to reflect on the generosity of God, our Creator, the value of our very life, and the countless blessings we have received and have shared. We begin to notice what we ordinarily overlook.

 Can we set aside some time – time that God has given to us?

 

St. Joseph Statue

We do not walk alone.

Through our trust in God and in patrons such as Our Lady and St. Joseph, we are assured of spiritual companions on this journey. We likewise realize how blessed we are that many individuals have supported and influenced our daily lives. Each encounter has contributed to our maturity and each has been woven into the tapestries of our lives. We are interconnected. and are called to build a more just and peaceful society as we protect and care for all of Creation.
