The first friars, having arrived in Dover on 10 September 1224 went on to establish themselves in Canterbury, London, and Oxford, thus bring a Franciscan presence to the religious, political, and educational centers of England. The Franciscan family will mark the 800th anniversary of the first Franciscans arriving in England with events in all four of these important locations.

Friar Tom Smith OFM Conv., Director of Holy Cross Retreat Center in Mesilla Park, NM, talks with Rev. Johnathan Hanneman, priest at St. Andrew Episcopalian Church in Las Cruces, NM, and Mr. John Nance. John brought the idea of installing solar panels at the church to Johnathan and helped research and move the project forward. They discuss the process of deciding to move towards solar panels, the actual installation, monitoring and results.

Beginning with Saint Francis, Franciscans have lived a life of itinerancy. Though often traveling, they are always at home. Friar Jude Winkler talks about the Vows, travel, and how Jesus is our home.
