April Happenings

Posted on by Franciscans of the Eucharist

Peace! In addition to our usual opportunities to pray and serve (like the First Saturday Food Give Away, our Senior Program, youth programs and Community Dinner) we welcomed the Chicago Nun Run, attended a special event at Kelly Hall in support of the youth programs and welcomed volunteers from St. Clement Parish for a service day and youth from St. Patricks’ Parish in Hudson WI for service and a special day of prayer on Divine Mercy Sunday. Thank you to all who helped coordinate these service and prayer opportunities!
