Following in the footsteps of Saint Francis.
Secular Franciscans are inspired by the life of Saint
Francis and embrace his message of living the Gospel
Life.
Being a Secular Franciscan is a lifelong commitment to
follow Christ in the manner of Saint Francis.
We invite you to "Come and See" if you too are called
to embrace the ideals of St. Francis. The journey is not
easy, but it is highly rewarding. You may join us in
learning to find Peace and Joy in serving others as Christ
did. We meet the second Saturday of each month at St
Teresa of Avila church in Grovetown.
For information Call Janet Hulshof, OFS 706-294-0884
All the women of
Good Shepherd Parish are invited!
