Franciscan Day 2019

It was a beautiful late summer day in Kennebunk, Maine for the annual region Franciscan Day.

The grounds of the Franciscan Guest House are peaceful as always.

Secular Franciscans from Plattsburgh to Cape Cod were in attendance.

After lunch there was time for a walk down to the beach.

Lots of people enjoying the sun and sand, but not too crowded.

Yeah, I like the beach.

St. Bernard Fraternity was well represented this year.
Arthur, Paul, Steve, Ruth, Joyce, and Barbara.

Picnic Time!

It's August and time for our annual fraternity picnic.  No council meeting, so general meeting, just time for fraternity and family to eat, socialize and enjoy each other's company.

Steve and Peg get started on the grill.  Not pictured is Paul who made our life easy this year by pre-cleaning the grill and making sure we had enough propane so we wouldn't have to scramble into the kitchen to finish cooking.

We had a wonderful crowd.

Your minister worried that there might not be enough food, but there was PLENTY!

Thanks to everyone who made it such a great day.
