Franciscan Missions partners with Franciscan provinces, orders, and ministries around the world to carry on the work of Christ in the spirit of St. Francis. Below are a few of the partners who have helped to build orphanages, soup kitchens, schools, churches, housing, sustainable water projects, farms, and more.

The new website, the official voice of the entire Order of Friars Minor, is born out of the need to promote up-to-date and effective communication so that it reaches the hearts of all, in the hope that it will also become a fruitful spokesman for a message of peace and life.

We are the Franciscan friars of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a branch of the worldwide Roman Catholic fraternity of the Order of Friars Minor. Headquartered in Albuquerque, friars of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe serve throughout the Southwest with locations in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. Since its founding in 1985, the province strives to continue St. Francis’ mission to spread the Gospel in our contemporary world.

Since 1855, the Franciscan friars of Immaculate Conception Province have striven to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, following the example of our Seraphic Father, St. Francis. We minister to God’s people throughout the eastern seaboard of the US; in Toronto, Canada; and in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador in Central America.

We are Franciscan Media, a sponsored ministry of the Franciscan Friars of St. John the Baptist Province. We strive to inspire a loving world that embraces the Franciscan spirit of harmony, joy, and simplicity. May our resources renew your spirit as we share God’s love in the spirit of St. Francis.

The Secular Franciscan Order was established by St. Francis of Assisi more than 800 years ago. Our purpose is to bring the Gospel to life where we live and where we work. We look for ways to embrace the Gospel in our lives and try to help others to do likewise.
