Reverend Sergius Wlroblewski, O.F.M. offers helpful instructions on following the Rule of the Third Order of Saint Francis. A group of the tertiaries included Sherrill Brzozowski, Marianne Dworak, Margaret Banach, Therese Tatar, Janice Falco, Judith Cwynar, and Marlene Wojkowski. ' Following the teachings of the seraphic St. Francis of Assisi, the members of the Third Order have as their ultimate goal the spiritual betterment of oneself. Understanding the great potentialities which they have as lay apostles, the tertiaries join with millions of other members of the Third Order to spread God's Kingdom among their daily associates. In the spirit of St. Francis whose love for God and creatures had no bounds, they diffuse effort, interest, and a Christ-like daily program as a norm for spreading true happiness. Semi-monthly meetings which are conducted by a master of Franciscan theology are resourceful channels for forming the spiritual life of the lay apostles of St. Francis. fre Qnfclen pam lo Jgappineds ,aff in .Rig lnformal group discussions among the senior sodalists often include points on proper behavior in activities outside of school.
