In 1205, Francis of Assisi was called by God to rebuild the Church. Early in his ministry, Francis recognized the need to include people from all walks of life within his movement of reform and renewal. The work of following Christ in humility, love and joy, is the vocation of all Christians, and is who we are as Franciscans.
To make our Lord known and loved everywhere.
By word and example, Tertiaries are witnesses to Christ in their daily lives.
By prayer and sacrifice, we help forward God’s work wherever he has called us.
JPIC arises from a spirituality centred in God’s plan for LIFE for all creation, and we are invited to collaborate in this project.
We are an international organisation with our Franciscan brothers and sisters with bases in such provinces as the Pacific, South East Asia, Americas, Africa and the UK.
Franciscan Aid works through Franciscans on the ground across the developing world to relieve poverty and advance education in the world’s poorest countries when the needs may not be covered by agencies.
Franciscans International (FI) is a non-profit, international non-governmental human rights organisation established in 1989. Its staff consists of professionals of diverse backgrounds working to translate grassroots voices in human rights advocacy action at the United Nations level.
