OUR PASTORAL MISSION

HERALDS OF THE GOOD NEWS

St. Francis gathered brothers around him to become heralds of the Good News. Inspired by this vision, the TOR Franciscans of the Province actively engage in pastoral ministry in parishes. Through this vital service to the Church, the friars dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the mission of evangelization by their pastoral presence and ministry.

Through their participation in the life and mission of the Church, the friars seek to continue the zeal of St. Francis by inviting the faithful to an ongoing conversion to Gospel values. Their ministry extends beyond the celebration of the sacraments to a compassionate and attentive presence among the people.

Through family visits, care for the sick and the elderly, pastoral counseling, and sacramental ministry, they strive to plant the seeds of the Gospel in the hearts of those they serve.

THE SACRED JOURNEY

A LIFELONG PROCESS OF ONGOING CONVERSION

Formation is the foundational ministry through which the Franciscan TOR charism and spirituality are creatively and faithfully proposed to and shared with successive generations. In accordance with the mind of the Church and the Order, our primary objective is to prepare candidates for the total consecration of themselves to God in the following of Christ.

As Pope John Paul II emphasizes in Vita Consecrata, formation is a dynamic, lifelong process that leads to ongoing conversion and helps individuals discover the signs of God in earthly realities. For this formation to be truly complete, it must be holistic—encompassing and integrating every aspect of Christian life.

Ultimately, it is a sacred sharing in the work of the Father who, through the Spirit, fashions the inner attitudes of the Son in the hearts of young men.
