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 Order of Friars Minor (OFM), founded by St Francis of Assisi, is a fraternity of friars who abandon themselves totally to God with the profession of obedience, poverty and chastity, to be lived according to the spirit of St Francis. These are the men who do the mission work that your donations make possible. Every project funded by Franciscan Missions is the idea of a Franciscan friar or friars serving somewhere throughout the world, and is executed by those same friars in collaboration with members of their local community.

The Franciscan friars of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a branch of the worlwide fraternity of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM). Working in urban and rural areas across the United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica, the friars of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe serve in schools and universities, hospitals, prisons, parishes, soup kitchens, retreat centers and more.

Franciscan Media is a sponsored ministry of the Franciscan Friars of Our Lady of Guadalupe Province. It strives to inspire a loving world that embraces the Franciscan spirit of harmony, joy, and simplicity by providing resources to renew the spirit and share God’s love in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare.

The Secular Franciscan Order (SFO) is a worldwide community of lay Catholic men and women who strive to live the Gospel in their daily lives, following the example of St. Francis. Secular Franciscans, also known as the Third Order, live in the world (not in religious communities) and are not required to take religious vows. They are married or single, and work in various professions. Their desire is to bring the Gospel to life wherever they live and work.
