Converge@St. Francis Ministry invites you to a Day of Reflection titled:
Easter and the Jubilee Year of Hope.
Hope is always the theme of the Easter Season and our celebration of the resurrection, and Pope Francis has chosen it as the theme of this Jubilee 2025. During this Jubilee year, we are called to renew our commitment to hope, faith, and love. The Jubilee of Hope is a time when we are invited to reflect on Christ’s resurrection and to be hopeful about the future — spiritually and practically. This Hope also calls us to action, just as Faith and Love do.
Joseph Nuzzi will lead us in prayer and reflection.

Hospitality Desk Hours for Holy Week
The Converge @St. Francis Ministry is happy to announce its Spring Book Club Selection.
We will discuss and review C.S. Lewis’s classic book The Screwtape Letters.
C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.
The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation — and triumph over it— ever written.
Join us for the Spring Book Club!
Dates: Every Thursday (Note the Day Change) May 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: 6:30 PM
Venue: Clare Room
As always, our dear leaders Nate and Linda will facilitate the book club.
A limited number of books will be available at the parish bookstore starting in early April.

Living the Hope of the Cross
In a world often marked by uncertainty and loss, the Cross stands as a beacon of hope and renewal.
This Lent, we are invited to journey with Christ, embracing the promise of transformation and redemption.
Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, let us open our hearts to the hope found in the Cross and become bearers of that hope for a world in need.
Vivir la Esperanza de la Cruz
En un mundo marcado por la incertidumbre y la pérdida, la cruz es como un faro de esperanza y renovación.
En esta Cuaresma, estamos invitados a caminar con Cristo, aceptando la promesa de transformación y redención.
A través de la oración, el ayuno y la limosna, abramos nuestros corazones en la esperanza que se encuentra en la cruz y convirtámonos en portadores de esperanza para un mundo necesitado.
“십자가를 희망하며”
불확실성과 상실로 점철된 세상 안에서, 십자가는 희망과 새로움의 표지로써 단락을 이룹니다.
이번 사순절에 우리는 그리스도와 함께하는 여정에 변화와 구속의 약속을 기꺼이 받아들입니다.
기도와 금식, 그리고 자선을 통해, 우리의 마음을 열고 십자가 안에서 희망을 발견하여 도움이 필요한 세상을 위해 희망의 전달자가 됩시다.

Come join us in this Lenten journey as we explore the life and works of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, a French Carmelite from Dijon, France. We will cover major episodes of her life, family, and the development of her spiritual theology especially in the developments of the themes of praise of glory, the Trinity, her retreat work and guidance to others. We will examine excerpts from her diary, letters, and poems to help facilitate this task. Finally, we will consider what wisdom we can gain from these works for our own life today.
Instructor: Mary J. Gennuso, Phd.
