St. Francis Fraternity meets at St. Francis
Parish, 50 Lodi Street, Hackensack, NJ on the second Thursday of each
month at 7:30 PM in the Church Hall. Each month we join as a Secular
Franciscan fraternity in
a form of Liturgical Prayer--either Mass or the Liturgy of the Hours. We have talks and programs presented by our members, our Spiritual
Assistant and various guest speakers. Our Apostolates include collecting
hats, scarves and gloves for the homeless in winter, a Baby Shower for
Birth Right in the Spring and collecting school supplies for the
Southwest Missions in the summer and fall. We also contribute to the St.
Francis Food Pantry. Our fraternity sponsors the
Apostolate of
Prayer for all intentions submitted and the prayer "Rebuild
My Church" to inspire those who have left the church to return.  Here we are! December 14, 2006 Our fraternity was founded in 1926 as an Italian-speaking fraternity with the first three professions taking place in April of 1927. The Capuchin Franciscan Friars of Stigmata Province have always served as our Spiritual Assistants. Today, we are a diverse community: young and old; women and men; English, Italian and Spanish-speaking. |
