The Secular Franciscans, or Third Order, as it is more widely known, was established by St Francis to encourage ordinary people to deepen their devotion and loyalty to Jesus Christ, while they continue to fulfil their daily responsibilities and duties in the midst of the world. The Secular Franciscan movement is a world-wide spiritual family. Each member strives to live the Gospel life of our Lord Jesus Christ enthused by the example of St Francis. | ||||||||||||||||
