Our Spirituality

We draw our energy from the Gospel, the Eucharist, community prayer, and community Life.

The Franciscan values of simplicity, joy, contentment, and mutual concern for one another are central to our spirituality.

Our role models are Maria Hueber, Elizabeth of Hungary, Francis and Clare of Assisi.

The observance of the Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ through a life according to the Evangelical Counsels of obedience, poverty and chastity is central to our Franciscan form of life.

Our sources of spiritual energy are:

The word of God as a guide for our words and actions
The celebration of the Eucharist as an expression of our union with Christ
Communal and personal prayers as sources of strength and joy as we live our everyday lives
Living the Franciscan charism through a simple lifestyle, fidelity and availability
Community life, which is supportive and challenging
The decision to respond joyfully to our call every day
