Secular Franciscans

The Secular Franciscan Order (OFS) was founded by St. Francis of Assisi more than 800 years ago and canonically established by Pope Honorius III in 1221. Secular Franciscans are men and women, single or married, who seek to follow Christ in the spirit of St. Francis and to bring the Gospel to life where they live and work.
