Franciscans all over the place

The 29th November is a strange feast day in the Society of Saint Francis.  It is the feast of All Franciscan Saints, a feast which is unique to SSF, on which we remember especially all those Saints who are forgotten by all but God.

People are often surprised when I say I am volunteering with Franciscans in the Church of England.  A lot of people don't know we are here, and just how many of us there are.  For those within the Society, that can be a bit surprising!

Well, spare a moment and pray for the sometimes forgotten brothers and sisters of all based in...
