Our Mission Statement:

“We should immerse ourselves in our theological tradition and enter into fresh dialogue with it, until it becomes part of the very air we breathe and forms the structures of our vision of God, humanity, and the world.”
Eric Doyle, O.F.M.

Our mission is to explore the riches of our Franciscan tradition within an environment that welcomes each participant as both learner and teacher, as sisters and brothers, in order to:

● reclaim the Franciscan vision of reality in a simple, creative and challenging manner

● identify and find new ways of articulating and applying this vision to the concerns present in today’s Church and to the crises affecting the life of our planet in all its forms

● recognize it deep within the human spirit

● bring this vision into dialogue with the signs and questions of our time

● facilitate a dialogue around this vision among all Franciscans, their partners in ministry and the sisters and brothers they serve, beginning with the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order

● provide resources for on going formation in this vision
