Living out the Franciscan movement
The Franciscan Federation—through its many iterations—has always sought to deepen the lived expression of the Franciscan Charism in the contemporary world. Originally founded as a response to the Second Vatican Council’s call for the renewal of religious life, the Federation has evolved into a more collaborative organization comprised of vowed religious and their associates, secular Franciscans, lay Franciscans, and all who seek to live out the Franciscan movement in today’s world.
