Tuesdays, 7pm to 8:30pm in the EAST Conference Room

September 15 – October 13, 2026

The tradition started by St Francis of Assisi is primarily a mystical - focused on leaving the ego for the burning love of God in Christ Crucified.

We will explore various Franciscan mystics from the time of Francis of Assisi in the thirteenth century up to our own time. Some of these mystics are St Bonaventure, St Angela of Foligno, St Catherine of Bologna, Francisco de Osuna, Padre Pio, and, in our own time, Ilia Delio and Richard Rohr.

Franciscan mysticism is “Divine Ecstasy in Human Flesh.” Mystical ecstasy means abandoning the self because one has experienced the goodness of God.

Join us for this class to learn how the Franciscan mystics threw themselves into the mystery of divine goodness and learn how to do the same in your own life.
