SOAP HOUSE IN SPRING

 

(Irises are the Easter colors for the Soap House)

 

SPRING is definitely here at the Prayer Fraternity!  With the warm weather, the normal spring flowers arrived early.  It was the irises who arrived in time for the Easter season and continue to grace the campus.  Pictured above is the former guesthouse of the Volchok family (Mike and Martha Volchok built the buildings we use today for our friary. This building was used as a guest house for them.).   Today Br. Joe uses the building for his soap-making.  If you are interested in seeing a slideshow of Br. Joe making his soap, click on the Franciscan Soap-Making site on the blogsite here.

 

Franciscan Soap makes a great gift for special occasions;  it's great for personal use.   Br. Joe offers a number of different soaps; for the Christmas season, he always has two special Christmas soaps (not available till Oct. 15th);  his normal soaps for purchase are:
