  • Early Followers of Francis and Clare
    1 Early Followers of Francis and Clare This list highlights some of the early followers of Francis and Clare who lived mostly within the first one hundred years of the Franciscan Movement. It reflects many different sources, not all of which agree with one another! If some of the accounts were not in agreement with specific dates, the compilers did their best to reflect accurate information. Clare’s group was known as the Poor Ladies of San Damiano, Damianites or the Poor Ladies of Assisi [known today as the Order of St. Clare or Poor Clares (O.S.C. or P.C.; Second Order); the Third Order of St. Francis (T.O.S.F.; Third Order Secular) is known today as the Secular Franciscan Order (O.F.S., Ordo Franciscanus Saecularis).

  • Clare of Assisi: Foot-Washing Leadership Sister Madge Karecki (Ssj-Tosf) [email protected]
    Clare of Assisi: Foot-Washing Leadership Sister Madge Karecki (ssj-tosf) [email protected] Introduction In recent years, there has been a proliferation of books published about leadership styles. We have seen the meteoric rise in popularity of Stephen Covey‟s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and now his Principle-Centered Leadership is fast becoming a best-seller. John C. Maxwell offers readers basic insights into various issues surrounding leadership in his Leadership 101: What Every Leader Needs to Know; while Rudolph W. Giuliani utilized his experience of being mayor of New York and produced his memoir-like volume, Leadership. These publications and many others on the development of leadership styles are indicative of a search for more collaborative and participative models of leadership. I think intuitively we know something is just not right. The model of the ruthless, capitalist CEO, the lone ranger at the top of the heap is a model that is being called into question by more than a few thinking people. Yet even the best of these volumes focus on skills and techniques without giving attention to the transformation of the one who is in leadership. Are leadership abilities inborn? Is leadership just a matter of learning a few techniques? Is the bottom line of every leadership style simply getting a job done? From a Christian perspective, good leadership requires more than techniques or skills. Christian leadership calls for something much deeper and much more challenging. It is for this deeper perspective that we turn to the medieval woman, Clare of Assisi.

  • Buildings, Covered Areas and Ovals
    BUILDINGS, COVERED AREAS AND OVALS NAME DESCRIPTION Agnes Saint Agnes of Assisi, was the younger sister of Saint Clare of Assisi. She came from a very wealthy family. On 18 March 1212, her eldest sister Clare, inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi, left their father's home in secret to become a follower of the saint. Sixteen days later, Agnes ran off to the Benedictine Monastery of St. Angelo where St. Francis had brought her sister, determined to share Clare's life of poverty and penance. The Year 2 Classrooms are housed here. Angelo Brother Angelo was a priest, and shared a breviary with St Francis and Brother Leo. He was one of the four brothers who were close to St Francis during his last illness. Brothers Angelo and Leo were present when St Clare died at San Damiano in 1253, and both of them served on the commission that conducted the process for her canonisation. The Angelo building is used as a Student Support Centre. Anthony Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) was a follower of St Francis. He was an outstanding scholar and is patron Saint of lost things and is credited with many miracles. It houses Year 3 classes. Assisi Assisi was St Francis’ home town in the Umbria Province, in central Italy. It was also the birthplace of St Clare, the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. This building is the College Administration Centre. Bernardo Bernardo di Quintavalle gave up his wealth to join St Francis.
