I have recently done been doing research on franciscan values because my teacher had mentioned the philosophy to me. That's how I came across your blog about the St.Ann Center and it sounds like a very great place. Your post also made me realize that I use these values daily but that I can definitely do more. Thank you for sharing this with us Juliann!
