Region holds an annual Franciscan Day each year on the last Saturday in August. The event is usually free, however, this year a small cost for lunch at the Guest House was needed. As always, it is a relaxed day on the peaceful grounds of the monastery in Kennebunk. Unfortunately, there could not be an afternoon Mass this year as Fr. Sam had conflicting commitments. Still, it was an enjoyable and informative day for all.

In the morning, Francine made a very good presentation on the subject of the 40th anniversary of our New Rule. Pat gave a thoughtful talk in the afternoon. |

After lunch, there's time for a walk. The street is packed with cars and the beach has plenty of beach goers enjoying the sun. |

Paul & Steve walked down to the beach. |

Luckily it's a long beach with plenty of room. |

Here was our fraternity's representation for the day. |
