Since 1959 the Franciscan International Award has honored people of faith who symbolize the spirit and the apostolic zeal of St. Francis of Assisi. This Franciscan International Award is presented yearly by the Conventual Franciscans on behalf of Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center, Prior Lake, Minnesota.

In 1972 Dr. Billy Graham received the award for True Ecumenism. We were honored with his presence and inspired by his words, work, and life.

May God grant him eternal rest.

“Remember when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received – only what you have given.”

-St. Francis of Assisi

Since the time of St. Francis and his first followers, our ministries, our ability to serve those in need, the education of new Friars, the care of our senior men all are possible with the partnership of our benefactors. Your generosity makes these stories possible.
