FRANCISCAN FEDERATION

The Franciscan Federation is an ever-evolving group of Franciscans who seek to deepen the understanding and love of the Franciscan movement in our world today through collaborative relationships across the Franciscan family. The Federation promotes the exploration and study of Franciscan Evangelical Life and its implications for our world today, provides networking opportunities and resources to further ignite Franciscan values, and provides space for the emergence of new ideas... The Franciscan Federation-through its many iterations-has always sought to deepen the lived expression of the Franciscan Charism in the contemporary world. Originally founded as a response to the Second Vatican Council's call for the renewal of religious life, the Federation has evolved into a more collaborative organization comprised of vowed religious and their associates, secular Franciscans, lay Franciscans, and all who seek to live out the Franciscan movement in today's world.
