Secular Franciscans
Secular Franciscans are part of the Franciscan Movement.
They are ordinary people trying to live a gospel life by studying the life of St. Francis of Assisi and using his example to try and live a good and useful life.
The Secular Franciscans invite everyone to meet with them and discern whether you are called by the Spirit of God to become an expression of the Gospel in the manner of St. Francis.
The group meets at 3.00pm on the third Sunday of each month at St John’s, Orewa, for a meeting which includes a time of study followed by a time of fraternity.
