Website for the Secular Franciscan Order’s Quinquennial Congress


No Comments

I know this isn’t a quote, but if you want to keep up with what’s going on at the Q, they have set up a website (http://www.quinquennial.org/).

More than 500 Franciscans converge on Chicago July 3-8 for the U.S. Secular Franciscan Order’s Quinquennial Congress. Held every five years to bring Secular Franciscans, friars and sisters together as a family from across the U.S., the Quinquennial this year focuses on gaining insight into the call by St. Francis of Assisi to live the Gospel in one’s everyday life.

The vision which has been so faintly suggested in these pages has never been confined to monks or even to friars. It has been an inspiration to innumerable crowds of ordinary married men and women; living lives like our own, only entirely different.

~G.K. Chesterton, Saint Francis of Assisi
