Franciscans of the Renewal

Franciscans of the Renewal (FOR) is a Catholic religious community dedicated to living out the spiritual legacy of St. Francis of Assisi. They focus on prayer, evangelization, and serving the poor, emphasizing simplicity, humility, and a deep love for Christ and creation. Members often live in community, dedicate themselves to the sacraments, and outreach activities, including helping those in need and promoting renewal within the church. Founded in the 1980s, FOR seeks to inspire others by embodying the Gospel’s message of compassion and joyful poverty in contemporary society.
