Community of St. Francis to offer week in July for women interested in discerning a call to the religious life
Spend a week sharing a life of prayer, study, and work in the city of San Francisco, July 11-17, 2007
The Community of St. Francis, a Religious Order for women in the Episcopal Church, is offering a week, July 11-17, for women interested in discerning a call to the religious life.
“I didn’t know the Episcopal Church has Sisters!” This is a comment we hear all the time. The religious life in the Episcopal Church is too well hidden. Yet it is an enduring part of our Christian and Anglican heritage. Often people feel called to this way of life, but don’t know how to pursue the call. The best way to learn about religious life is to visit a religious community. Therefore, if you are over 21 and under 55, in good emotional and physical health, free of family obligations, have questions about the religious life, and can imagine yourself
* Committing to a deeper relationship with God
* Living in a loving community
* Moving toward greater simplicity of life
* Honoring and nurturing the earth
* Working to eradicate poverty, prejudice and injustice
* Engaging in compassionate ministry with the poor and marginalized
….. We invite you to participate in Consider Your Call
There is no fee for participation in the week. However, donations are always gratefully received!
Call 415.824.0288 or e-mail CSFsfo@aol.com.
