Secular Franciscan Order - Flagstaff AZ
Current Fraternity Goal:
"Our goal is for each fraternity member, in a spirit of service, to initiate encounters with the marginalized by living the example of Matthew 25; and commit to caring for creation by increasing their efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle."
Please join us for our monthly gatherings.
