Enduring Presence: The Integral Ecology of Franciscan Life
4070 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, 92057
Both the canticle and the encyclical Laudato Si pay close attention to relationships between the creatures known as humans. Through the long, rich history of lay Franciscans sharing ministry with the religious, we will explore five themes in what Pope Francis calls “an integral ecology”: 1) Life partnerships and the cultivation of faithful relationships; 2) Faith and family life; 3) Conversion stories and the challenges of faith; 4) Caregiving and the ministry of presence; 5) Your life as a Franciscan: applying historical models to today.
