Who we are

Franciscan at heart. Secular by vocation.

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.

The world is our cloister.

“Secular” means our vocation is lived in the world. We are not friars or sisters living in a religious community. We are people with households, schedules, responsibilities, joys, and worries much like anyone else.

What changes is the intention we bring to those places: to recognize Christ, choose peace, live simply, and meet every person as brother or sister.

A Rule for real life.

Our Rule calls us to move from Gospel to life and from life to Gospel. That movement is personal, but it is never solitary.

The fraternity offers a steady place for prayer, formation, mutual encouragement, and discernment.

01

Prayer

We make room for God in the ordinary rhythm of each day and let prayer shape how we see the world.

02

Fraternity

We learn beside brothers and sisters who encourage one another, listen well, and grow together.

03

Simplicity

We practice gratitude, humility, and freedom from the things that can crowd out what matters most.

04

Service & creation

We carry the Gospel into our relationships and communities, with special care for people in need and our common home.
