Franciscan Brothers are involved in a wide variety of ministries. Some brothers devote themselves almost exclusively to one type of work like education or health care. Staffing high schools, lecturing at universities, and working in medical facilities have been valued ministries for Franciscan Brothers. Today, Brothers do every type of work imaginable. We find Brothers in pastoral work, some in missions, and others in professional services.
Some Brothers use their skill in carpentry, mechanics, and agriculture.
Others become involved in working with the poor, functioning as economists, and developing religious education programs. The areas of service are wide open depending on an individual's talents and the needs of the Church and Community. This Web Page was commissioned by the Province of St. Anthony of Padua.
