Some persons choose to spend their lives sharing a human project more enduring than themselves.
The project shapes their attitudes and feelings and infuses those persons with a new purpose. With the project comes the taste of a new reality and the discovery that there are others who share the same vision. For over 760 years, persons have experienced the joy of something greater by giving the gift of self to the service of God and neighbor as Friar Servants of Mary. We are a Roman Catholic religious community, founded in the 13th century, living and working in the spirit and traditions of the Second Vatican Council. We serve in Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Zululand, South Africa and Australia.
