| General Assembly November 17, 2009 |
On November 17 the friars of the Province
gathered in Beacon, NY to spend a day in fraternity
and to share the quality of their spiritual life as
followers of St. Francis. They reflected on three
different areas of their life: the future of Vocations and
Formation, an accountability of the Province finances
and a review of the ministries and fraternities where
they live.
They reflected together the quality of their life,
namely how they are living the life that they professed
and how do they witness to the people they are
ministering too. The friars agreed to continue to move
forward with the development of a pastoral plan that
began last year to give them a vision of how their life
will look in the future.
