Thanks so much for your help! ORDER OF FRANCISICANS SECULAR Almost 800 years ago in Assisi, a man named

Francis was called by God to “Rebuild My Church.” The times were difficult, war and greed were rampant. He chose the Life of Christ (Gospels) as his guide. People began to follow him embracing his values of poverty, joy, simplicity, gratitude and love of all God’s creatures. They continue to do so today. If you would like to learn more, consider yourself, you are cordially invited to the Fraternity of the Companions of Francis and Clare on Sunday, November 20 and/or Sunday, December 18 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church at 1:00 pm and see if this might be for you. For more

information, call Tom Fame at 521-6414 or Vicki Hubbard at 389-4092.

To learn more about the mission and ministry of the AMS, please visit www.milarch.org/nationalcollection.com. You will find information letters and offering
