As we celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis, Sr Ilia Delio OSF reflects on his understanding of God as love.
Francis followed Jesus so perfectly that he was honoured by this unique gift, the imprinting of Christ's five wounds upon his body.
To mark the 800th anniversary of the arrival of the friars in England, Minister Provincial Aidan McGrath OFM has written a letter to the Franciscan friars in Britian and Ireland.
We are part of the world-wide Franciscan Order present in 120 countries with some 13,000 friars. The wider Irish Province includes the Custody (Region) of the Good Shepherd in Zimbabwe and the Custody of the Immaculate Conception in Great Britain.
