Experience a living and authentic fraternity
The spirit of prayer accompanies the Franciscans in their work and in their mission.
Prayer and vows of poverty
We are religious who belong to a mendicant order. We make vows of poverty, chastety and obediance.
Proclaiming the Good News
“Whatever house you enter, first say ‘Peace be to this house’. Carry no purse, no bags, no sandals. You are to proclaim the Kingdom of God.” (Luke, chapters 9–10)

Francis was also very devoted to all that witnessed to Christ’s nearness to us: the Gospel, which he meditated on faithfully, the Eucharist, the Passion. Read Franciscans' Prayers » |
