“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.
