This week I volunteered at the St. Anthony of Padua Triduum Novena in the Franciscan Abbey Church in Galway Of course I have a lot of pics .. The Area set up .. I was sitting at that table recruiting for the Secular Franciscan Order The banners (youfra is the youth branch). I am in the adult branch: The table:  The Flyers (you can zoom in, can't you?): Ok, now for an exclusive, behind the scenes. The view from behind the table lol:

Today I had my RITE OF ADMISSION into the Secular Franciscan Order in Galway. I have been learning for a year and now I am progressing in my Formation. It is the Secular Franciscan Order or Lay Franciscans. They gave me a little TAO cross and the Rule. The Rule isn't a book of rules btw It is daily prayers you're encouraged to pray and information on the Order.
