Advent Candles “Without fraternity, we cannot survive.” On November 2nd, Jeff and I left for Assisi to attend a 9-day retreat on St. Bonaventure’s “Journey into God.” At the conclusion of this retreat, we departed Assisi for Rome with many of the 30 pilgrims on our shared journey. Most of our group went to the airport for their return trips to the US, Canada, England, Germany, and the Philippines. To celebrate the 2025 Jubilee of Hope, though, Jeff and I stayed an additional 5 days in Rome. Our hotel was one block from the Franciscan parish of St. Gregory VII—a A Reflection for All Saints’/All Souls’ Day by Sister Mercedes Rojo, OSF In Spain and all Latin American countries this is a very special celebration. It is a time when we remember and honor our family members who had passed on. On this feast, I take time looking at photos of my parents, my brothers, aunts and uncles who have passed on. I take time to remember moments of joy as well as hard moments…. I take time to be with each one… talk to them about those moments… ask them how they think about St. Katherine Drexel Regional Fraternity Regional Spiritual Assistant St. Francis of Assisi Friary 1901 Prior Road Wilmington, Delaware 19809 tel: (302) 798-1454 fax: (302) 798-3360 website: skdsfo email: pppgusa@gmail.com November 2025 Dear Sisters and Brothers in St. Francis, The Lord give you his peace!
