Prayer
We make room for God in the ordinary rhythm of each day and let prayer shape how we see the world.
A Secular Franciscan fraternity in Tucson
A quieter way to live the Gospel—together.
We are Catholics who seek to follow Jesus Christ in the footsteps of Saint Francis and Saint Clare—while remaining fully present in family life, work, parish, and community.

Visit details →Franciscan life, close to home.
Secular Franciscans do not step away from ordinary life. We discover that ordinary life is precisely where Christ calls us to love, repair, reconcile, and begin again.
You do not need to know whether the Secular Franciscan vocation is for you. You only need enough curiosity to come, meet us, and listen.
Fraternity
We learn beside brothers and sisters who encourage one another, listen well, and grow together.
Simplicity
We practice gratitude, humility, and freedom from the things that can crowd out what matters most.
Service & creation
We carry the Gospel into our relationships and communities, with special care for people in need and our common home.
“Praised be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures.”
No pressure. No prior knowledge needed.
Come meet us before deciding anything.
A visit is simply a chance to pray, listen, meet the fraternity, and see whether this way of life speaks to you.
