Have you been looking to add a spark to your spiritual life? You may wish to consider becoming a Secular Franciscan and follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi. You may find this spirituality appealing given the Franciscan emphasis on living the Gospels and the focus on care of creation, conciliation, daily conversion, and a supportive community. Living as a Secular Franciscan requires prayer, study, and service within the community.  The local fraternity is the Our Lady of the Rosary Secular Franciscan Fraternity. Saint Bede Catholic Church graciously provides the meeting space for our ministry. We are grateful to Monsignor Joseph P. Lehman and the parishioners of Saint Bede for their generous hospitality.
