As a young man St. Francis had a great enthusiasm for life. He was passionate and poetic. He reached out to others cheerfully and they enjoyed his company. He was always ready to laugh at himself, as one can do with their friends, and in this spirit of fraternity he was a rather boisterous leader of the youth of Assisi...

We are a Catholic religious Order of priests and brothers committed to living the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ as a brotherhood, poor in spirit. Inspired by the life and writings of St Francis of Assisi, we strive to authentically live a life of prayer, fraternity and ministry as brothers in simplicity, humility and joy!

Perhaps you’ve noticed a desire stirring within you for the priesthood and/or religious life. How do you know if this is the way God wants you to offer your life to Him?You will be most fulfilled if you seek to do God’s will – i.e. live the life for which He created you, for which He put you here. To do this, you need to discern what God is calling you to.
