A Letter from Sister John Mary Sullivan, Executive Director
At the beginning of his evangelical life, St. Francis heard a call: The Lord revealed to me that we should say this greeting: ‘May the Lord give you peace.’ With these essential words, he conveys…the inner wonder that the Gospel had brought into his life: peace is the sum of all God’s gifts, a gift that comes from above. – Pope Leo XIV
Dear Friends,
This Jubilee Year of Saint Francis has been a grace-filled year, reminding everyone on our Franciscan Life Center staff that we are called to be conduits of our Lord’s peace.
In a world that often feels fractured and polarized, Saint Francis’ message of peace remains ever relevant. So many of our clients walk through our doors seeking peace within their relationships and within their very selves.
Thank you for being a key part in bringing peace—a tranquil ordering—to the individuals, couples, and families whom we serve. We pray that you and your families may also know the tranquil order of our Lord’s peace in your lives.
Pax et bonum,
Sister John Mary Sullivan, FSE
