Our Life & Ministries
In the tradition of St. Francis, the Franciscan Friars have taken a vow of poverty. Although we have very little, we help many. Our diversified talents make us unique in our ministries to the communities in which we serve.
Some of my brothers serve as chaplains in hospitals and nursing homes, professors at seminaries and universities, pastors, preachers, missionaries. Our talents are called upon to assist in local communities in need of spiritual guidance and compassion.
In the midst of this ministry, we reach out to infants and elderly, the poor and the homeless. We know firsthand that just a few dollars can make the difference between life and death to those living on the edge.
Through your generous support, you can take great satisfaction in knowing you are helping the Friars to bring hope, inspiration, and comfort to God’s children.
When one of our friars kneels beside a hospital bed to offer comfort and hope to someone who is sick, you’re there, kneeling by his side. When one of the friars carries the Gospel and the hope of our Lord to a remote community, you make the journey with him, helping to deliver God’s message.
In the middle of troubles and pain, there is a promise of joy. The threat of destruction is over and hope springs up again. God reminds people of His great love. Ask God to fulfill the promises you are waiting on to be fulfilled. Praise God for making such wonderful promises and let us rejoice in prayer.
May God bless you for your generosity. |
