The Conventual Franciscans who run St. John Church remember their founder’s - Francis of Assisi’s – deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Francis lived to imitate Christ; and on Mount La Verna in Tuscany, he received the Stigmata, Christ’s wounds from the cross. Francis' depth of faith inspires not only Franciscans but all Catholics to pray and develop their faith. Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is part of this development.
