Saint O’the Day: Feast of All Saints of the Franciscan Order (Nov.29th)

Today we remember not one saint, but many! I learned about this special day on the Church calendar from a guest who spoke to my classes today. I was honored to welcome Friar John, who blogs under the name “Friar Truck.” Here’s the two of us as I gave him a thank you gift and then my class and I sang “Happy Birthday” to him.

Every year, on November 29th, Franciscans celebrate the many saints from their community across the nearly 800 years of existence.  November 29, 1223 was when the final Rule of Life was approved for the Franciscan order.

So, please download and share this special presentation –PDF

It’s full of great saints and interesting information:
