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.
