Franciscan Friars and Staff

We are a Franciscan community called to welcome, love, and serve.

• The Franciscan Community of Providence is engaged in the pastoral care of the Church of St. Mary on Broadway, St. Francis Chapel, The Poverello Center and Our Lady of Dourdes Church.
• The Franciscan Friars' Holy Name Province encompasses most of the east coast of the United States and is headquarted in New York City.
• The Franciscan Vocation Office is eager to hear from young men who are discerning a vocation to religious life in the Catholic Church.
