Meet The Franciscans

The Franciscans are passionate about life with God, our sisters and brothers and all of creation. We believe that all people and creation are loved unconditionally by God, and because of that – all are welcomed by the Friars.

We don’t believe in living in the past, only serving all those who cross our lives in the present, and we look forward to the challenges of the future.

Joy is part of our Franciscan charism, laughter is part of our everyday life, and being “down to earth” is what comes from being part of a fraternity, a community.
