Secular Franciscans live their lives in the secular world, rather than in a religious community. they can be single, married, men, or women, from all walks of live. they live the gospel in a franciscan manner according to their own rule, which is professed after a period of formation. this profession is a lifelong commitment. formation and profession of the secular franciscan takes place within a local community, called a fraternity. our fraternity is the st. maximilian kolbe fraternity and our franciscans look for ways to embrace jesus’ call to st. francis of assisi: “rebuild my church.” st. francis of assisi, the founder of the franciscan order, abandoned a life of comfort and luxury in favor of service to the lord. we invite you to join us, meet our order, and see how we live out the gospel in our secular lives!

we meet on the 3rd sunday of each month in the modular hall at 1:00pm. please email trish persson, OFS, below for further information!
