Franciscan Crown
Our Fraternity is developing a customizable Franciscan Crown. Currently, there is an additional story about its history that is not commonly know that is posted right now.
Our Council
OFS Rule #22. The local fraternity is to be established canonically. It becomes the basic unit of the whole Order and a visible sign of the Church, the community of love. This should be the privileged place for developing a sense of Church and the Franciscan vocation and for enlivening the apostolic life of its members.
Projects
Our fraternity is developing several projects to help promote awareness of our Order, to create items that can be used to foster a greater sense of community.
Upcoming events
Please see our Calendar on this page for upcoming events. We will promote National Events such as the OFS Quinquennial Congress; BSSF Regional events like the Annual Regional Gathering (ARG); local fraternity events such as our gatherings, retreats, days of reflection, Transitus; and other Catholic events that the fraternity wants to promote.
