The Vocation of the Friar Minor
Franciscan formation is based upon a personal encounter with the Lord and begins with the call of God and the individual’s decision to walk with Saint Francis in the footsteps of the poor and crucified Christ as His disciple under the action of the Holy Spirit.
If someone should wish to adopt this life and should come to our brothers, they must send them to their provincial ministers to whom alone is granted the right to receive brothers. (RB, II)

FAQs
A great resource for many questions about Franciscans is the video series, Breaking in the Habit by Friar Casey Cole, OFM (HNP). Wondering what a typical life is like for a friar? Try Friar Casey again. He has a great series on, A Friar Life. Check out his series.
Questions about types of religious life? Check out this link to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
You know about St. Francis, maybe St. Clare, or even St. Anthony. Are there any other Franciscan saints? Check out the Franciscan Archives. But wait, we expect to have more!
