What does it mean to be a Secular Franciscan?
Secular Franciscans are single and married women and men, and diocesan clergy, who live in their own homes and with their families — yet gather regularly in local communities called fraternities to pray, share life, and continue a lifelong journey of formation.
Individually and together we serve through apostolic work, with particular outreach to the poor and marginalized, and a focus on peace, justice, and care of creation.
Already professed and relocating to the Triangle? We welcome you — come join us at our next gathering.
