Direction Statement (2006-2010)

As Franciscans rooted in Eucharist and in communion with all of God's creation, we commit ourselves to:
  • Nurture cosmic awareness, develop right relationships with all creation, and promote sustainability of Mother Earth.
  • Deepen our understanding of our Franciscan heritage and live authentically as Franciscans in the 21st century.
  • Intensify our efforts to effect just treatment of all, especially women, in church and society.
  • Invite and support new members, affiliates, and partners to join us on our Franciscan journey.
