1. Our ministry is in the tradition of the Franciscan call to Christian Church architecture reflected by the command of Jesus, in a vision to St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) to “Rebuild my Church, falling into ruins all around you.”
  2. The full context and quote is repeated via Google Search below: “Francis, rebuild my church which, as you see, is falling down” is a phrase attributed to Jesus speaking to St. Francis of Assisi, where Jesus is essentially calling on Francis to renew and repair the Church, which he interpreted as both the physical church building and the spiritual state of the Church at the time; this occurred while Francis was praying in the dilapidated church of San Damiano near Assisi.
