Quinquennial Congress in July
Is Franciscan Family Gathering

The 18th Quinquenniala Congress takes place July 3-7, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. The theme is: "Why Francis? Claim the Gift!"

"We are encouraging every fraternity that is able, and every region, to send at least one representative," notes Clare McCluggage, SFO, who is co-chairing the Q with former National Minister Patrick Mendes, SFO.

Q logoShe said attendees will not only be edified, but also find a time of descerming -- like a Chatper of Mats.

Programming will be centered around a series of questions to help Secular Franciscans revisit the vision and to claim the gift that Francis left us.

Keynote speaker is Sr. Ilia Delio, OSF. Other featured speakers:
Br. William Short, OFM.
Pat Brandwein-Ball, SFO.
Ed Shirley, SFO.
