Our Work & Life

The friars and sisters serve in a variety of capacities. The vast majority of members of our community live in regular homes and work secular jobs just like those they minister to. Additionally, they undertake special ministries as Franciscans. Some maybe called to holy orders and serve as a priest or a deacon. Others may minister in soup kitchens or nursing homes. Each member works with the community to discern what his or her strengths are so that they may attempt to better understand what kind of ministry it may be that God is calling him or her to. Some of our more common ministries are explained further within these pages.
