Secular Franciscan commit themselves to a life in Christ calling for a positive effort to promote Gospel attitudes among their contemporaries.
They are invited with each other in communities through which they develop a sense of direction according to the Gospel spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Franciscan traditions are steeped in Catholicism and focus on many of the same values, beliefs and traditions of the Catholic faith, like the importance of charity, benevolence and selflessness.
Franciscans do not believe in living lavishly while other Christians live in poverty and misery.
