Fall came late to the Oratory. We enjoyed mild weather into November. About two weeks ago all the trees started turning gold and red. We enjoyed cool days with lots of sunshine. The Oratory grounds are enjoyed by many as they come to walk around and reflect.

A Franciscan Approach to Lent .. Workshop

admin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:02:22 +0000

Francis saw his life as the life of a penitent. What did it mean for him to wear cheap cloth and cord around his waist? Together we will read about him sprinkling ashes over his food and even covering his head with them. We will read Francis’ original biographer’s accounts of his approaches to almsgiving, fasting and prayer. Learning Francis’ approach to the penitential life could serve to enlighten you and inspire you to “make it a great Lent.” By the end of the day, you will have determined some new Lenten practices which will enrich your own journey toward Easter.

Facilitator for this workshop will be Julie McElmurry.

Date: Saturday, March 12, 2011

Time: 9 am – 4 pm

Place: Rock Hill Oratory

Cost $40 (lunch included).

Registration form for this workshop will be online on our web site for download and mailing later today.
