We are Franciscans
For us, St. Francis of Assisi is both a teacher and a model. Many people, touched by the living testimony and the fervent word of Francis, want to follow him and to live fully as he did, a life in fidelity to Christ.
We are religious
The consecrated life is a gift that offers the baptized man the possibility of a more intimate experience of God. From this perspective, the religious follows Christ more closely and lets himself be guided, as a Rule of life, the Holy Gospel.
We are Tertiaries
The Third Regular Order of St. Francis is an evangelical fraternity, which has its historical and spiritual roots in the ecclesial call to conversion, in penitential movements and in the guidance of St. Francis of Assisi.
