The 20th OFS-USA Quinquennial Congress began with a welcome dinner Wednesday night at the downtown Sheraton in Phoenix, AZ. Mass followed in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary just two blocks from the hotel.
More than 600 Secular Franciscans are on hand for the event.
Thursday’s keynote featured Fr. David Couturier, OFM Cap., who spoke on “Called to Build a More Fraternal and Evangelical World: Secular Franciscans as a Community of Care and Moral Transformation.”
I mentioned to few people at the “Q that there is a good Youtube video site called Breaking in the Habit with Fr Casey Kohl.
