The Capuchin Franciscans follow St. Francis of Assisi as brothers, living the Gospel in prayer, fraternity and ministry. Through contemplative prayer, we witness to Jesus Christ, Mary, the Blessed Mother, and the Church as a joyful presence of hope and salvation to all—especially those most in need. Our worldwide brotherhood spans 101 countries, with 11,000 religious living in more than 1,800 communities. Our work includes ministries in parishes, schools, hospital and prison chaplaincies, retreat houses and historic missions. If you’re contemplating a vocation, we’d like to invite you to learn what it really means to be a Capuchin brother or priest.
