THIS WEEK
Our Advent journey continues. Hopefully you are making a little time to reflect on the coming of the Lord. So many distractions, conflict of priorities, so many things to get done. It seems that we should stop every now and then and ask ourselves the very simple question: why?
A good way of stopping is to read the little meditations at the end. It only takes a minute, even less.
We have been showing some of the ministries of Holy Name Province. this week we feature St. Francis Urban Outreach Center. To get to the Urban Center click here: http://stfrancisinn.org then go to ministries. Below are the two links I gave you last week. well worth reviewing.

About Me
- fr.Bill,ofm
- It really is about time I got to do this profile. Because of the nature of the animal there are going to be a lot of "I" please excuse. I was born in NYC many years ago. I entered the Franciscan Order, Holy Name Province, in July 1960.ordained a Franciscan Priest in 1966. Shortly after Ordination I was sent to Japan where I spent the next glorious 28 years working as missionary. In 1994 I went to India to work with lepers, Unfortunately, I got sick and had to cut my stay short.The next stop was the Holy Land. Two more very happy years. Finally, after 30 years out of the country I returned to the States. My first posting was to a Chapel in a shopping mall outside of Albany NY. In my spare time I worked with the fillipino Community in Albany and also with the collegiates at Siena College. In 2002 I was transferred to St.Francis Inn, a soup kitchen run by the Franciscans of the NY Province.
