Franciscan Priory

A Franciscan Priory is a religious community or monastery where members of the Franciscan order live, worship, and work together. Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, these communities emphasize simplicity, humility, and service to others. Priories serve as spiritual centers, housing monks or friars who dedicate their lives to prayer, community life, and outreach to those in need. They often include chapels, gardens, and spaces for communal activities, fostering a sense of shared purpose and devotion. Essentially, a priory is a place where Franciscan friars focus on living according to their spiritual principles while serving the wider community.
