Comment on Seven Dolors Fraternity Messages by Stephen Brace

The website for fraternal use is functional. The articles could use more interpretation or commentary in my honest opinion. I hope to attend the Lay Associates Open Conference as a means of getting to know about each one’s charism. It would be nice to know when I am encountering other Catholics to point them to a fraternity that best suits their character. I hope to make my own comment on some of the recent activities my fraternity engages in. I would also like to find leads to my fraternity’s past. Progress is slow in this area. I think I just have to make brochures and hand them out to local Catholic churches.

I have received several good comments from a few in the fraternity, all positive. Upon our next fraternal meeting, I hope that there will be more to add and change. Stephen.

Our fraternity meets every third Sunday at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Nashville, TN at 2pm Central Standard Time. Contact info for my minister will be forthcoming after we discuss with our fraternity the desired direction and a chance for prayerful consideration. If anyone need more immediate information, contact the National Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order–USA either by phone 1-800-FRANCIS or through emailing the regional minister on the http://www.nafra-sfo.org/regions.html.

i have long been attracted to the ideals of saint francis, but have been divorced and remarried … so… i think that i cannot become a member of your order.
however, i would like to know how i can get a hold of the prescribed prayer books — so as to follow through with a small life of prayer.
is that possible?

I visited St. Mary of the Angels in Assisi for far to short a time, in 2008. I hope to return in 2013. I have been a professed Franciscan Tertiary since 1965. Holy Seraphic Father Francis, Ora pro nobis.
