This is the salutation that the gentle soul of St. Francis used each time he met the people of Assisi. Francis walked the hillsides of Perugia spreading the peace and joy of God's love.
Our very own Franciscan, Sister Donna Jo, the Director of Guidance, can often be found strolling the hallways of Benedictine Academy singing joyfully. True to the Franciscan spirit, she often preached the gospel with her beautiful presence, and only when necessary used words.
The Senior Students surprised Sister Donna Jo with a mini-celebration on her Feast Day. She received a huggable wolf that prompted her sharing of the legend of "The Wolf Of Gubbio". Sister reminded them that we are all called to calm the wolf inside each of us with kindness and love. Happy Feast of St. Francis to one and all.
