Who we are

Society of St Francis | Who we are

Who we are …

We are a religious order in the Anglican Communion.
We are involved in the contemporary world, seeking to promote unity and reconciliation and in caring for the marginalised.
We are committed to the spiritual search in the Christian tradition and seek to follow the way of St Francis of Assisi in humility, love and joy.
