THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER

The Secular Franciscan Order is a worldwide community of Catholic men and women, married and single. We live in the world in communion with the Church of Rome. We seek to pattern our lives after Christ in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. We were formerly known as the Third Order Secular of St. Francis, founded by our Seraphic Father St. Francis during his life time and canonically established in 1221 by Pope Honorius III.

In today's world we are plagued by time schedules, projects and activities that may leave us tense and stressed. The OFS becomes our place of spiritual refuge and renewal where others support and inspire us on our spiritual journey. Secular Franciscans use the example of walking in St. Francis' footsteps as we endeavor to bring Christ more fully into our daily lives.

Look around our website and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact us. We hope to see you again! Check back later for new updates to our website. There's much more to come!
