Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings and peace!
Sr. Margaret Carney OSF asked that I share the news about The Padua Program – a program to assist lay women and men who are in positions in Franciscan ministries ( colleges, schools, hospitals, social centers) who have responsibility for promoting the Franciscan mission. More and more lay persons will be taking the place of retiring sisters, friars, etc.., and those positions would be ideal for prepared members of our OFS family. Some of you may already be holding such jobs, and this program would be a help to you as well.
I am attaching some documents below that will give you an idea of the scope of the program, along with a link to learn more. Please share the news of this opportunity widely — and quickly — as the Registration deadline is Sept. 5
Should anyone be interested in more information, you may contact Sr. Margaret Carney directly. Her email is MCARNEY@sbu.edu
Thank you for your help in increasing awareness of this opportunity.
Peace and good,
Jan
