Our Fraternity is part of the Queen of Peac

e Region. Our Mission:
The mission of this Fraternity is to cultivate the Franciscan spirit of peace, fidelity, and respect for life,

striving to make it a sign of a world already renewed in Christ. We profess to follow Christ by observing His Holy Gospel. Living in the spirit of St. Francis, we are committed to a life of prayer, penance, and service. We will minister to the lonely, sick, and the discouraged among our own members and reach out to help the poor and hurting families in our community. We unite in prayer for the restoration of the family, to respect and value all life, to foster human interaction and human development, and to extend this mission to the family of the world. The first or main part of the Third Order consists of individuals who consecrate their whole lives to live as Francis did by living in community through communal prayer. We, the other part of the Third Order, profess our lives to live as Francis did and to live in the secular world as single or married individuals living as Francis did and preaching the Gospel by our example, using words only if necessary. We have a special love and concern for poor people and the marginalized; those whose dignity is diminished by factors beyond their control or by negative personal factors they refuse to address. Applicants are led through steps and are known as inquirers and candidates and then are professed. The fraternity is a call from God and is not treated as a club to be joined.

Why is a Franciscan Sister writing about a baptism party on a cold January morning, you might ask. I realize that this title may seem strange to my readers. As a matter of fact, today , , , ,
