Please join us the weekend of Oct. 8-9 to hear Rev. Robert J. Karris, O.F.M. speak at all Mass about a ministry providing direct relief to the poor throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Fr. Karris will share personal witness about Food for the Poor's mission to care for the destitute as a means of living out the Gospel mandate to love one another. Fr. Karris was ordained for the Franciscan Order in 1965. Before preaching on behalf of Food for the Poor, he taught at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, was provincial Minister of his province, was General Councilor of the Order and was stationed in Rome. Fr. Bon is Professor Emeritus of St. Bonaventure University in New York where he worked for over 16 years. He has published more than fifteen books and continues to write and edit from his home at St. Peter in the Loop of Chicago.
