Due to precautions in regard to COVID-19 and the restriction of visitors to Chiara Center, we are planning Franciscan Nativity Events – an on-line experience via ZOOM on December 4, 5 and 6. The events will be free and open to the public, and guests will request a ZOOM link for each event by sending an email to info@chiaracenter.org before 4 p.m. for the particular event that is of interest. Events: December 4 from 7-8 p.m. will feature the nativities in St. Francis of Assisi Church (Springfield, IL) and the story of Greccio, Italy and St. Francis; December 5 from 7-8 p.m. will feature a few families who will discuss their nativity on display in their home; and December 6 from 7-8 p.m. will be photos and stories from previous Franciscan Nativity Festivals.
