Franciscan life now and Franciscan life during the first years of the order aren't all that different. We continue to follow in the steps of Saint Francis, even 800 years after his passing.

The strong tradition of the Franciscan order transcends time. This can be seen in the similarities the order shares with its founding, and with the fraternal bond between experienced friars and those who are brand new to the order. It's because of this relationship that the strong Franciscan tradition has managed to remain consistent throughout the test of time.
