Another blessed year at the ARG in Ridgecrest, NC!
Once again, we were gifted with an amazing time sharing in God’s presence, enjoying the beauty of creation, breaking bread together, and deepening our Franciscan bonds.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this year special. Whether you helped organize the displays, prepared the adoration room, provided snacks, assembled gleaning bags, or coordinated transportation—your servant hearts made this gathering a true success.
The spiritual fellowship was deeply moving. We cherished our quiet time with Jesus in adoration and loved the rich, joy-filled discussions with both our fellow Secular Franciscans and the other guests at Ridgecrest. To our brothers and sisters who couldn’t make it this year: you were dearly missed and held close in our prayers.
We leave Ridgecrest with renewed spirits, wonderful new friends, and beautiful memories in nature (St. Francis would surely be proud of our time outdoors!).
Peace and all Good, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
