Francis of Assisi assured his brothers that they will never lack, provided they live the life faithfully: "People will surely provide for your needs." Down the centuries, the Franciscan Order has survived on the charity of people.
Being a mendicant Order, we rely on divine providence for sustenance, that means, we beg for food and financial support from the faithful. We need your help and as the Lord said: "He who gives a prophet a cup of water because he is a prophet will have the prophet's reward."
We also need your help to promote our apostolate which are largely non-profit oriented. As you help us in any way, no matter how little, to carry on with our life of witnessing to the Gospel, we assure you of our prayers and implore God's blessings on you.
