The Friars were delighted to see that The Good Newsroom published an article about their annual Blessing of the Animals at Graymoor ahead of the Feast of St. Francis.
The hills and valleys are aglow with autumn colors as fall unfolds, and Graymoor is no exception. The Holy Mountain has become a sea of red and gold, a fitting backdrop for this season when we celebrate our beloved St. Francis of Assisi.
The past couple of months have been a time of profound joy and renewal for the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, as three brothers marked significant milestones in their journeys of faith.
In recent weeks, members of Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute (GEII) had the privilege of participating in two significant events that reflect the vibrant and evolving landscape of Christian unity in the United States.
On Thursday, August 7, St. Christopher’s Inn welcomed several unions and organizations for a day of learning, connection, and support of the Friars’ healing ministry.
As summer winds down and September approaches, there’s so much to reflect on. The kids are heading back to school; the leaves will soon begin to change colors. Autumn is at our doorstep. Yet, September is meaningful in so many other ways. It’s the month during which the Church celebrates the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross, and our nation observes National Recovery Month.
On July 21, Dr. Hollander and Fr. Brian Terry, SA, had the pleasure of welcoming Federico Girotti (intern at Centro Pro Unione) and his partner Francesca to GEII in New York City.
