SPIRITUAL ASSISTANTS

We invite you to e-mail us succinct requests for prayer at czestochowa1734@aol.com.  You are also invited to ask to have your deceased mentioned.

Spiritual Assistants are extremely important to the SFO.   According to Article 13:

         1. The principal task of the assistant is to foster a deeper insight into Franciscan          spirituality and to co-operate in the initial and continuing formation of the          Secular Franciscans.

       

        2. In the Council of the fraternity and in elective and ordinary Chapters the assistant will be respectful of the responsibilities and role of the secular Franciscans, giving them priority with regard to the guidance, co-ordination, and animation of the fraternity.
