Welcome to the new blog. We are friars in the Society of Saint Francis in the United States. We have houses in Long Island and San Francisco. Our brothers have been asked to share thoughts on their lives as brothers (just beginning their formation or those who have been professed for several years), images, reflections on readings, politics, faith, community life, book excerpts, and anything else that might come up. We invite you into our lives to share in the richness of Franciscan life and faith. God BlessCategories
