Perhaps in the only way I am like any of the elite athletes who compete at the Olympics, I can sometimes let circumstances overwhelm me or distract me from being present in the moment.

While the tradition of a live Nativity scene dates back to 1223, St. Francis’ approach to the incarnation and the birth of Jesus remains revolutionary and spiritually transformative for today.

A Franciscan education offers a unique, Christ-centered viewpoint into Catholicism. Franciscan spirituality is faithful to the gospel and the Church, rooted in prayer, contemplation, and most importantly, service.
