Praying, Living, & Loving the Franciscan Way
26 Cardinal Stritch University Freshmen visited the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi for a tour of their Motherhouse, followed by small group conversations. Within minutes of introductions students and sisters were smiling, laughing, and enjoying each others stories. The sisters expressed happiness at meeting the new students and welcomed them to our Franciscan university. Sisters shared their life stories. Some have served as Stritch faculty and its president. Others have served in grade and high schools as teachers and principals. Some have been musicians, music teachers, organists and choir directors. One was a missionary to China for 40 years and just recently returned. Students showed interest and listened with attention. Sisters showed interest and support of the students and some offered prayer support as they begin this new chapter of life. At the conclusion of the hour, enjoying lemonade and cookies, some students promised to come and visit again. In all 20 sisters took place in the planning and participation of the event. Thank you to all of you!! -----coordinated by the Office of Franciscan Call and Response
