Praying, Living, & Loving the Franciscan Way
Indeed, Jesus has demonstrated the radical form of love we are to enact if we are to be his followers. We are to become one with our sisters and brothers in need; we are to serve them. This is the kind of action that comes forth naturally when we believe—as Jesus did-- in the radical equality of all human beings. Jim Van Vurst, OFM

http://www.lakeosfs.org/support-us/cards-calendar/ Students, grades 1-5, from St. Peter's Catholic School in Slinger visited the St. Francis of Assisi Convent last week. They attended Mass with the Sisters, toured the convent, ate lunch, and learned more about what it is like to be a Sister. The visit concluded with a game of Habit (Bingo)! Thank you to the teachers and students for such a wonderful day! The Sisters cannot wait for them to visit again!
