The annual NSW/ACT Franciscan Family Day was held in October this year at Terrigal Star of the Sea Church where 45 people from ACT, Lake Macquarie and all over Sydney assembled to pray and hear guest speaker Sister Pia Galea, a Sydney Poor Clare nun, talk about the praises of God.
After lunch, three senior members of the Fraternity of St Joachim and St Anne told their personal story of how they became drawn to St Francis of Assisi, and decided to dedicate their lives to God, imitating the example of humility and love of Jesus, as recorded in the gospels.
It was also an occasion to celebrate the birthdays of three senior Central Coast Franciscans, Lui and Georgette Bruni, 92, and Bede Hickey, 90.
Franciscan Fraternity Leader Sandrea Petith said the day was a happy and enjoyable one.
