Well, here's to another FVM year in Philly at the St. Francis Inn.  Building great relationships with my housemates, co-workers, and most importantly guests of the Inn was such a blessing last year and I feel so honored and blessed to be able to experience it again this year in new and old ways.

I was first introduced to the FVM program by LeMoyne College's alternative break program where I spent numerous weeks working at the St. Francis Inn and working with former FVM's.  Once I had been there and experienced the wonderful community of Franciscans and the eclectic mix of people who set foot in the Inn, I was hooked.

I guess I am still hooked, I can't get enough.  I am looking forward to another year in Philly to make those past relationships I had made even stronger and to build new relationships with my new housemates and the guests at the Inn.  I pray that I can be persevering in what God is calling me to do and that I keep my mind and heart open to whatever that call is.

Peace & many Blessings.
