Dear Friars and Friends,
Here is a photo of the construction of the new
St. Anthony's Foundation building-- the new Dining Room and kitchen (St. Anthony's serves 2,400 meals a day), clothing distribution center, and other services. The top seven floors will provide affordable housing for seniors managed by Mercy Housing....
To the right is St. Boniface Friary.
Many friars from the SB Province minister at St. Anthony's. Pictured below is "D.T." [Dick Tandy OFM] at the welcome desk of the Dining Room.
Pictured at the right is Scott Slattum OFM visiting with a woman from the neighborhood. The Postulants from OLG Province, Vy and Steven, spent a month working at St. Anthony's. I joined with them. It was an immersion experience for them. We enjoyed the hospitality of the friars at St. Boniface. I am off to the the Novitiate in Wisconsin (leaving Sacramento's 90˚ weather) to join the other U.S. JPIC Animators for classes with the novices. We add on our semi-annual ESC JPIC meeting to the end of the week there. Please check out the noteworthy issues presented in the boxes below. ..........peace..........Mark Check out Franciscans for Justice on Facebook
