About this sermon

Father Francesco is moving to London for his first assignment as a priest, so his Franciscan brothers give him a proper goodbye in this video. They share a tradition they have when saying goodbye to friends by inviting viewers to their "dinner table" discussion. Father Francesco shares that the path of a Christian is a call to friendship. Honor is central to friendship, and in honoring Father Francesco while saying goodbye, the three other friars are honoring God.
