A Franciscan Christmas story

On a starry night in the little town of Greccio, Italy, 1223, a crowd gathers in a cave at the invitation of St. Francis of Assisi.

What they witness that night will change everything...

Thank you for journeying with us through this Franciscan Advent series. We hope these reflections have helped you pause, pray and deepen your sense of God’s presence during this sacred season. We wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
