If you have a Franciscan vocation, you probably have a desire to do something more. Perhaps you feel a need for support in growing spiritually. Or, deep down, you sense a need to serve God in a special way. Or, for years, you have felt an affinity with St. Francis. He seems to pop up all around, and you just don’t know why. Perhaps, God is calling you!
Getting to know the OFS better may be a way to determine if you have a vocation.
You’ll have plenty of time to get to know us before you make any commitment. The OFS requires 3 months of orientation and six months of inquiry. During that time, you’ll come to our monthly gatherings and have a few informal classes. Then, if you feel the call to continue, you’ll have another 18 months of formal discussion, education and involvement as a candidate.
If you feel that God is calling you to do something more, please contact us. Is God calling you to walk in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi?
Don’t say No before you say Yes!
Why? Because God won’t stop calling you until you answer!
Feel free to come to a meeting and introduce yourself. Come with a friend or family member. We look forward to telling you all about our Fraternity and our dear St. Francis.
Thank you for the opportunity to share our Franciscan way of life with you. Come and see.
