Hi
Trying to find the oak brook group
Is it still running
Also are the Wayne and st charles group running
do you mean st clare?
St Clare meets at Mayslake in Oak Brook on the 2nd Wednesday, I believe at 2 PM
I have the same question regarding the st. Charles group.
I am a Secular Franciscan from Tau Shalom fraternity in La Crosse, WI. Would I be able to get in contact with someone from the St Joseph Fraternity in Chicago? I have been helping with a Mexican individual who has some health issues. We recently were able to make arrangement with the Resurrection project in Chicago to find him an apartment so that he can access some needed health services. I was wondering if the St Joseph Fraternity would be willing to meet with him to ensure that his needs are being met. Thank you
Are meetings open to new comers that want to learn more about OSF at the Oakbrook / Mayslake location as listed below?
Meeting Place: Mayslake Village (Chapel)
