St Francis of Assisi
The world's favourite saint is being celebrated in our friaries.
Fr Pat Conlan of the Killiney Franciscan community has died.
Franciscans celebrate the 800 Anniversary of their Rule and the first Crib.
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.
