INformaTion

About the masthead…INformaTion.  IN for Indiana, and also for it’s literal meaning—we are in formation for the rest of our lives. The forming of our spiritual well being should never end. We continually work to be better formed Catholics and Franciscans. Our faith is fed by the Word, by Eucharist and by prayer. Our Franciscan vocation is continually affirmed by our fraternity, its apostolate, and our own growth in knowledge of and living out of the Rule which we professed and our other guides—the General Constitutions, National Statutes and Regional Guidelines.

INFORMATION is defined as knowledge communicated or received concerning a particular fact or circumstance; knowledge gained through study, communication, research, instruction, etc.; the act or fact of informing.
