The Franciscan way of life continues in our time, no less than in ages past, to attract many men and women who are thirsting for gospel perfection and seeking the kingdom of God.
(Pope John Paul II Approval of TOR Rule 1982) 

We are one family within the worldwide family of St Francis of Assisi. We invite you to share something of our  lives and our relationship with God and with all people, our brothers and sisters in the one family of God. 

This is the form of life of the Brothers and Sisters of the 
Third Order Regular of St Francis: to observe the holy gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by living in Obedience, in Poverty and in Chastity. (TOR Rule Ch 1)

 Gospel -   the  good news is that God is real and 
  He continually creates us in love.

                                         Minority - we take to ourselves the 
                                         call to be 'little ones'. 
                                         We do not desire status or prestige, 
                                         but desire to live as sisters 
                                         to all people and to all creation.

                                         Conversion - we aim for a conversion
                                         of our hearts. Daily we turn to God
                                         to receive His love and to share
                                         His love.                                        

                               

Fraternity - God calls us into communion 
with each other. 
Together as sisters in Jesus Christ we 
live our call and embrace the worldwide family
as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. 
Contemplation - we gaze upon the humanity of Jesus Christ and are caught up in a life of love towards God and all people.
