…for the Gospel
"The rule and life of the Lesser Brothers is this:
to observe the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Conventuals proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, by our very lives. This is the heart of Franciscanism: living a life that is fundamentally oriented toward the Gospel. In who we are, both as individuals and as a fraternity, and in all we do, we strive to enflesh the message of Christ.
