St. Francis College celebrates St. Clare and St. Francis Week
In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis College, 180 Remsen St., Brooklyn Heights, is reaffirming its belief in the ideals and values of the college’s patron saint with a series of events under the umbrella of St. Clare and St. Francis Week beginning Monday, Sept. 30 and running through Friday, Oct. 4, the day of the feast.
St. Clare and St. Francis Week focuses on Franciscan tenets such as respect for others, service to the community, social justice and care for the environment; and is a way to recognize the life and legacy of the two people who served as living models to others and inspired a worldwide movement for good that continues to thrive more than 800 years later.
