WHO WE ARE
We are Roman Catholic Priests and Brothers of the first Order of St. Francis of Assisi. We live in communities (Friaries) through which we endeavour to live the Gospel values in following Jesus Christ in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi. Our work is to bring Christ to people, especially the poor and the marginalised in the society. We do this through offering spiritual retreats and recollections to priests, religious brothers and sisters and the laity. Our friars as well are involved in the parish apostolate where we also promote Marian devotions. We are also active in the healthcare and education sectors.
