Community News 2

The Franciscan Renewal Center is owned and staffed by the Order of Friars Minor,Province of Saint Barbara since 1951. It was incorporated in 1992 and is a 501(c)3not-for-profit entity. The Franciscan Renewal Center (The Casa) is not a parish butrather operates within cannon law as Our Lady of the Angels Conventual Church.This church is canonically a part of the friar convent and the church religiousordinary (Fr. Peter Kirwin OFM) and rector is responsible to the provincial ministerFather John Hardin OFM.The FRC applies a three pronged approach to governance and management.The Provincial Trustees of the corporation are responsible for seeing that the

ministries remain Franciscan and that the property is maintained for the church and the Order. The Board ofDirectors reports to the Provincial Trustees and is responsible for seeing that the mission/vision, goals andpolicies of the ministries follow the Franciscan tradition and also serve the needs of the Church. The boardoversees the efficiency of the ministries and that the ministries conform to state and local laws andregulations. The board follows a governance model compared to that of daily management. The GeneralManager together with the Executive Director manages the day to day operations and implements thestrategic plan. They direct the staff of 35 and collaborate with hundreds of volunteers. The ED/GM report tothe board of directors.Potential for spiritual growth and transformation equals success. We are a center for the experience of spiritualgrowth which transforms and moves us beyond ourselves in the service of others.

As a Christ-centered community, we embrace the Catholic tradition in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, and wewelcome all to share in: Prayerful Celebration and Contemplation, Learning, Social Action, Healing, andHospitality.

Simply, we exist to inspire or change society toward peace and goodness, renewing lives.

The purpose of the FRC is to provide community resources for people involved in fostering growth in humanand spiritual awareness. It is our aim to provide hospitality within a beautiful, peaceful setting, for a variety ofgroups and purposes. The Casa serves a world community in facilities that still retain much of the quaint flavorof the original lodge. Indeed, many of the buildings are original, a point not lost on many who come to theCasa. Franciscan Values; The board and staff of 35 have adopted the following:

Magnify the voice of the under-heard; Our values trump market growth, income or profit potential;

We accept interruptions as potential opportunities for cooperation with the Spirit; Intuition is a superior form of knowing over rationality; We look to the coincidence of opposite for answers; Our priority is cooperation with the Spirit; Proactive collaboration and cooperation honors our interdependence yet accountability

remains clear; Potential for spiritual growth and transformation equals success.

The Catholic Social Teaching of

Care for Gods Creation

We show our respect for the Creator by ourstewardship of creation. Care for the earth

is not just an Earth Day slogan, it is a

requirement of our faith. We are called toprotect people and the planet, living ourfaith in relationship with all of Gods

creation. This environmental challenge hasfundamental moral and ethical dimensions

that cannot be ignored.

From the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

During this time of the Gulf oil spill, I offer this prayerfrom the Franciscan Action Network website. Thatwe may be attentive to discover and quick toembrace ways to live more sustainably, to influencethe public policy of our nation, and to save ourplanet for the future generations.

Fruitful Labor for the Lord

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; thereforebeseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His

harvest. Luke 10:2

Franciscan Fathers Eddie and Gino are doing outstanding workministering to the spiritual needs of the White Mountain and SanCarlos Native Americans. They give their thanks for all the support

they have received.Now they can use your help in ministering to a basic temporal need,

the need for food, (especially fruits and vegetables which are lackingin the local diets). and help in delivering it to the people.Unemployment in the area is 70-90 % as a result of the current

economic situation and the Rodeo-Chediski forest fire that shut downthe local lumber industry.Several members of our Faith in Action Ministry have been taking citrus

and other basic fruits and vegetables to San Carlos and WhiteMountain.

The Sunflower Farmers Market, located on Miller Road at Camelback,has been extremely supportive of this effort.

You can also helpVolunteers are needed to make occasional deliveries to the Missions.

If you do this on a Sunday, its a special joy to attend mass there.You could also make a monetary donation to help purchase citrusand other basic food items.

Your prayers for the Apaches will be especially appreciated.If you would like to help in this Fruitful Effort, or if you have anyquestions, please call Bill Isenberger 480-292-8999.

Franciscan FederationThird Order Regular

The Franciscan charism is a giftgiven to the Church throughFrancis and Clare of Assisi and

their followers. The Franciscan life includeselements from both monastic and apostolicreligious life, but has its uniqueness. Theemphasis is on neither a common placecentered on contemplation and the praise ofGod, nor on a common task centered on theconcrete mission of service to the Churchand world. It is rather on a common heart: aprophetic witness to Christ and the whole ofhis gospel.Francis and Clare's life for the church is a callacknowledging the primacy of Christ with allits implications for a radical way of thinking.Their ability to read the signs of the timeschallenged them to embrace courageouslya new worldview, giving birth to anevangelical movement for the enlivening ofthe Church.

More articles to appear in future bulletins.

Thank You for Giving Water to the Thirsty

Thank you, Casa Community, for rememberingthe men and women who are experiencing

difficulties in their lives and helping to make thesummer a little less oppressive for them.

Water collected amount to 165 cases!!Money donated to buy water for the homeless

amounted to $751.

Thank you again for your thoughtfulness in helping make the summer just a

little easier for those visiting Andre House.A special thank you also goes to Paula White and the volunteers who helped

with the water drive collection.~Faith in Action Ministry

We Need YOU

The Faith in Action Ministry at the Casa is alive and well AND busy! Good things are always

happening here.As we look forward to the upcoming new Fall Season, we encourage all Casa community

members to consider being a volunteer in the Faith in Action Ministry.There are many opportunities and options for volunteering. Right now we could use help in:

The Medical Ministry The Apache Fair Trade Craft Project Collections and drives for the disadvantaged, homeless and the Franciscan Missions

These are just some of the areas in which help is always needed.Looking ahead to the holidays when everyone is feeling a little stretched, the Blanket Drive needspeople to help collect, fold and/or deliver the blankets. Many hands make light work. Would you

consider giving of your time and talent? Maybe this is something you have thought about doingbut didnt know how to go about getting involved.For answer to your questions or for more information on the many ways to volunteer in the Faith in

Action Ministry, contact Patti Sills-Trausch, Director of the Faith in Action Ministry, 480-948-7460, ext.130 ([email protected]) or Bonnie Wasniewski, Program Coordinator for Faith in ActionMinistry, ext. 155 ([email protected]).

A faith communitys social ministry is the empowerment of the congregation as the people of Godto fulfill the Church's mission of love, justice, freedom, and peace by communally responding in

an organized way to societal and individual needs.We can respond to this call and act in four different ways:

Advocacy/Speaking out for others Charity/Direct Service Solidarity/Development Empowerment/Organizing for Justice

You can also pick up a copy of The Faith in Action Opportunities booklet in the lobby for a list and

explanation of all the many ways you can be involved in this wonderful ministry.
