Inspired by the life of St. Francis of Assisi, to bring the Gospel of Joy and Grace to the world.
THE History OF OUR FOUNDER –
The Life of
St. Francis of Assisi
In his lifetime, he was known simply as “Il Poverello,” the poor one. Yet few poor men in the history of the world have touched as many souls and affected as many lives as Francis of Assisi. The ideals he embraced-his passion for peace, his guest for simplicity and his respect for all of creation – are as relevant today as they were to the medieval society into which he was born more than 800 years ago.

St. Anthony – Perpetual Novena : EVERY TUESDAY MASS-10:00AM & 7:30PM
Saint Anthony was born in Lisbon in Portugal in 1195. He was the son of wealthy parents who had him christened Ferdinand. When he was 15 years old he joined the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, in the convent of Saint Vincent, just outside the city walls (1210).
