Welcome to Franciscan Fridays! In this first episode, Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, and Br. Pius Marie Gagne, CFR—chaplains at the Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima—reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis and the enduring meaning of the papacy in the life of the Church.
Today our chaplains Father Luke and Brother Pius inaugurate a new weekly podcast by discussing the passing of Pope Francis, his complex legacy, and what we as Catholic can do in this period of prayer and deliberation. What can we learn from the history of the Church, recent events, and what is the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding our response today? Join us for the first episode of Franciscan Fridays, here at the National Blue Army Shrine!
From the spirituality of the Fatima children to the historical humanity of past popes, this heartfelt and honest conversation touches on prayer, leadership, confusion, grace, and gratitude. Drawing from their Franciscan spirituality and mental health insights, they offer encouragement and hope in a time of transition for the Church.
📍 Filmed on-site at the beautiful National Blue Army Shrine in Asbury, NJ.
🙏 Join us weekly as we discuss faith, Church life, and spiritual wisdom grounded in Catholic tradition.
