The OFS – Order of Secular Franciscans (Ordo Franciscanus Sæcularis) . . . Who We Are, and Our History
When we speak of “Who we are” or talk about “Our history” as Secular Franciscans, we begin a journey that covers many centuries since the time of Francis, many countries and cultures as the Franciscan Family has grown world-wide, and sort of “ends” (if there is such a thing in Franciscan life!) in the way the Secular Family specifically exists today.
These areas of interest form a good foundational introduction to the Secular Franciscan history, traditions and modern expressions. Take some time to read of our journey, and appreciate how the Secular Franciscan Order has become the Order we know and love today.
