Friars Welcome All in the Spirit of St. Francis during the Holidays
Nativity at St. Anthony Shrine
St. Francis would often meditate on the Poverty of the Incarnation
and the great love God has for us. He is credited with popularizing the Nativity scene.
Fr. Jeffrey Scheeler, OFM, the Provincial Minister of the Province of St. John the Baptist invites you to visit the friars this Advent season at Northgate Mall.

May the peace of the Lord be with you!
As Franciscans, we’re continually working to develop new ways to respond to the needs of people in today’s world.
At the end of this month, we friars will try a new form of evangelization. We want to share the Gospel by providing a Franciscan presence of warmth and welcome in the “marketplace” during the busy holiday season. Friars from this province will be on hand at the Northgate Mall in Cincinnati, Ohio, on evenings and weekends from November 29 through December 24.
Our hope is that our presence will be a bit of a reminder of the real reason for the season. We would like to simply be a place of peace, friendship, prayer, and conversation during the hustle and bustle of the season.
God bless you,
Fr. Jeff
