Franciscans in the News
Cojourner Jean Rynda shared this from the Sunrise newsletter – email edition – sent by Jeff Pieters, Editor of Rochester Post-Bulletin, on March 26, 2026:
… I heard from many readers what they would promote about our area to a visitor, including these:
• Whitewater State Park — Dave
• Assisi Heights tours; “Sister Alice is the best.” — Barb
• Top floor of the Gonda building; “You see a wonderful panorama of Rochester.… Very windy.” — Jodi
• Another note in support of Assisi Heights: “One particular area that makes an impression is the long corridor on the main floor that is filled with historic photos of Rochester.” — Karen
Several Sisters and Cojourners attended the ISAIAH project event on March 29, as shown below. ISAIAH is a multi-faith, multi-racial, state-wide and nonpartisan community organizing coalition in Minnesota working toward a multiracial democracy and a caring economy.
