Companions Of Our Order

Persons associated with the Order, who are not Postulants, Novices, Professed Brothers or Sisters, or Oblates of St. Francis, are referred to as our "Companions".

It is anticipated that those seeking Companion Status will participate in the devotional and prayer life of the Order through the recitation of the Daily Office provided in the FODC Order Service Book and support the Order through generous alms.

Companions are included in our mailing list to receive the Order's Newsletter, the Franciscan Greeting, and may attend, without voice or vote, Covocations or General Chapter meetings of the Order.

Those wishing to become Companions of the Order are invited contact our Secretary General through our contact page or calling the telephone number posted on the header of our website.

The Provincial Minister for the Diaspora shall be responsible for keeping in contact with them and praying for each of our Companions on a regular basis.
