Third Order of St. Francis
The Fraternity was established in January, 2020 after a group of Secular Franciscans prayerfully discerned to leave the Secular Franciscan Order. They wanted to live their Franciscan vocation in the way Third Order Franciscans lived their secular vocation for so many centuries, as Tertiaries under the direction of the Order of Friars Minor. As the Third Order of St. Francis, the object and purpose of the Franciscan Tertiaries is “to form its members in Christian perfection” (ref Sacra Propediem 16).
