Vision Statement
In the spirit of Francis of Assisi, we welcome all people looking for greater meaning in life and a deeper relationship with God, others, self, and all creation. Through the integration of body, mind and spirit, we offer a place of quiet beauty and hospitality that deepens and supports the unique gifts each person contributes to the hope and healing of all.
What does “Tau” mean?
St. Francis used the symbol of the Tau (a cross that looks like a “T” ) as a mark of God’s favor and blessing and wanted it to be used by his followers as such a symbol. He used it to both address and sign letters, to identify communities of brothers and sisters, and to “seal” work done in the name of Christ by Franciscans. Today the Tau is a world-wide sign of Franciscans and is frequently part of the identifying symbol of Franciscan religious communities, including the Wheaton Franciscans.
