In this issue:

Franciscan Schools Australia: Inaugural Conference. Sr Pauline Robinson mfic writes; the aim of the Conference was to bring together Franciscan Educators to be exposed to the rich heritage of things Franciscan.

Reflecting on Clare of Assisi. Sr Pat Cullen fmm writes; in her first letter to Agnes, Clare is already established as an outstanding contributor to the Gospel spirituality of Saint Francis.

Franciscan Vocation. Br William ssf writes; few can follow Francis in his unique path of life. It was too hard, too heroic for most of us. But we do sense that simplicity of life is a blessing, that small is beautiful and voluntary poverty is liberating.

Br Ghislain of Taizé visits Cannon Hill Anglican College. Fr Tom Sullivan, CHAC chaplain writes; the Brother’s message for our senior students was very simple, that regardless of life’s experiences we can always find hope.

This is for Brothers using the franciscan email. The franciscan website and email have been moved to a new server as of a few minutes ago. The only change you should notice is that instead of typing your email address as the username, you now log in using your username.franciscan. e.g. If I were Brother Matthew, I would login as brmatthew.franciscan using my usual password from the old server. I’ve put this message up to help those who may have lost my email or didn’t read it earlier this week. You can contact me via Brother Donald or Brother Nathan if you have issues. —Matt
