Inquirers

Each of us are created with a set of talents and God given gifts to serve a specific purpose in God's creative plan. Out of the many visitors to our website, we realize that a few visitors may be drawn to our website through a heartfelt yearning to seek, know, and follow God's will for their life . 

But why are we drawn to St. Francis or are intrigued enough to satisfy a desire to know more about the Franciscan way of life and the charism of our Seraphic Father Saint Francis of Assisi?

Few Saints are more immediately recognizable than St. Francis of Assisi. He is recognized, loved, and claimed by Christians of all denominations, and even embraced by non-Christians as well.

Francis seized the imaginations of his contemporaries, as well as that of modern men, by his unique simplicity, a pure grace of spirit, his overwhelming love for God, and his mode of life in which he actively sought to live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Unfortunately, given the extent with which he's loved, few Saints are less understood than Francis is. To the modern mind, Francis is a caricature. He is the simple, lovable, man who preached to birds, tamed wolves, talked to fish, and was so gentle that a wild hare leapt into his arms. But he's so much more than that.
