Rebuild My Church: Saint Francis of Assisi
On the feast of St. Francis, this Morning of Recollection will reflect on his profound call from the Lord to “rebuild the Church.” St. Francis’s deep devotion to Mary and his radical living of the Gospel invite us to seek renewal in our lives.
Space is limited. Reserve your spots today!
As the pace of our lives seems constantly to increase, and the presence of technology ubiquitous, our Mornings of Recollection provide just what the name implies – a time to step out of the world and re-collect yourself. Led by esteemed Augustine Institute scholars and theologians, these mornings combine rich intellectual content with time for prayer, creating an environment for deepening the faith and refreshing the soul.
Whether you're seeking to better understand the movements of the Holy Spirit or longing to rediscover authentic rest in Christ, these mornings provide a structured yet calm space to encounter God and return to your daily life renewed, refocused, and refreshed.
This event is open to any individual 18 years and older.
