Thank you for taking this brief look at the Capuchin Franciscans. Every human life has a God-given purpose. The Capuchin Franciscans, a religious order of friars, are inspired by the life and ideals of St. Francis. Our strength is derived from our rich diversity and heritage of contemplative prayer, preaching the Word of God and caring for those in need. In this tradition of service, Capuchin Franciscans find their purpose, inspiration, and hope. "Inspired by God, St. Francis initiated a Gospel form of life that he called a brotherhood according to the example of the life of Christ and His disciples".

Living the Gospel…Making a Difference

Capuchin Franciscans offer six "Come and See" Discernment Weekends each academic year for Catholic men between the ages of 18 and 40. Our weekends provide an opportunity to meet other interested men discerning God's Call and visit some of our 22 various ministry sites in New York and New England, speak with Capuchin Franciscans about their ministries in parishes, suburban and inner city, hospitals/prisons, missions, social work, in the education field...
