Secular Franciscans
Franciscan spirituality is going from Gospel to life and life to the Gospel.
SFO members strive to live the Gospel in the manner of St. Francis by spreading the Gospel by word and example in their homes, at work and in their parishes. Monthly fraternity meetings with their common prayer, formation and fellowship provide the spiritual nourishment needed to live as a Christian in the world.
If you are interested, you must be a practicing Catholic in good standing with the Church, be willing to accept that belonging to the SFO means a life-long commitment to the Franciscan way of life, and be at least 17 years of age.
There are three stages of initial Formation:
a)
Orientation, 3-6 months (exploring the SFO thru
discernment;
b) Inquiry, 6-9 months (looking at the process of becoming a member
of the SFO);
c) Candidacy, 1-2 years (journeying with the fraternity to find
out if God is calling you to live the Franciscan way of life.
We meet the
Third Wednesday of each month
in the Parish Social Ministry Office at 7:00 P.M.
