Franciscan missionaries

Franciscan missionaries are members of the Franciscan Order, founded by St. Francis of Assisi, dedicated to spreading Christian teachings and serving others through poverty, humility, and compassion. They often travel to remote or underserved areas to share faith, build churches, and improve communities. Their work emphasizes living simply and demonstrating love for all people and creation. Historically, they played a key role in exploring and establishing Christianity in new regions, balancing evangelism with social service. Their mission reflects a commitment to both spiritual outreach and practical assistance based on the values of the Franciscan spirituality.
