Please join us for Movie Night at Faithful Fools this Friday, May 22nd, at 5pm! We'll have a movie showing followed by discussion. This week we will see Home is a Hotel (2023). A documentary that follows five residents living in SROs, single residence occupancy, in San Francisco. The documentary was filmed over 6 years and follows each resident as they navigate personal and societal challenges of living in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Free to attend & light refreshments will be provided. 💜🤡

We had a grand time celebrating Sr. Ade Kroll! 🥳 There was mixing, cutting, and glueing. What a special way to celebrate what Sr. Ade loved to do -- bringing creativity and imagination into the world.

Thank you to everyone who traveled long distances and short distances to celebrate our very special fool in stardust form. ✨

Today we honor Sr. Ade Kroll, our Faithful Franciscan Fool who will be celebrating her first birthday among the stars, her Happy Place. We miss her dearly and are grateful for all she has inspired us with...her soup making, cookie baking, joyful creations, and cosmic
conversations. Come join us at our Fool’s Court for baking, card making, galaxy making and pure fun infused with Ade joy.

Today, April 1st, our High Holy Day as Faithful Fools, we celebrate the many people throughout the world living the Fool's mission out loud. We know that Kay Jorgensen and her clown Oscard are passing out noses to all Fools who are with them among the stars. May you have a moment to do some magnificent foolery on this day.

How does a Fool live well during unwell times? Our advice: Lean on community, create art, and find ways to meet each human's incredible worth.
