Agape Community Gathering October 4: “A Call to Resistance”
Agape’s 36th annual St. Francis Day gathering on October 4, 2025, “A Call to Resistance,” attracted a large. enthusiastic, multi-generational crowd on a perfect weather day.
Featuring prayer, music, and a few speakers, the program, planned and mostly presented by the young generation of Agape leaders, focused on two breakout sessions for all attendees. In the first, we discussed how we process our inner feelings about the current turmoil in our divided society. In the second, we channeled those feelings into options for nonviolent action to heal that divide.

Members of 15 breakout groups resolved to build a “community of communities” by staying in touch and taking inspiration from each other’s initiatives. We ended the day feeling energized, encouraged, and empowered.
