Friars and Zombies

Friars and Zombies

In our friary in Legnica, Poland, from August 7 to 18, the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) offices of both the Conventual Franciscan Order and the Capuchin Franciscans co-sponsored a Social Theater Workshop. The Friars worked with Ukrainian Secular Franciscans to organize the workshop. It provided new skills for those who are trying to help Ukrainians suffering from war trauma, especially children. NCR picked up the story -It begins:
