Worldwide Appeal

This website was originally designed for The Isle of Wight Franciscan Group since then interest in the site has extended worldwide, and so it now an informative site helping to introduce others to the Secular Franciscan way of life.

Although this website is not in any way affiliated with the official online presence of the OFS,  Ordo Franciscanus Saecularis, the Secular Franciscan Order, or any fraternity – its aim is to share with you some of the wonders of God’s Love and Creation as seen through the eyes of St Francis and St Clare of Assisi and many other Franciscans today.
