Become a vital part of our ministry!
With your monthly or annual pledge, you fuel our ministry among our Native American and inner-city parishes.
In keeping with our vow of poverty, the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Spirit rely on our Father’s abundant provision and your generosity to provide for our basic needs.
Your generosity helps defray the costs of our monthly living expenses, repair and upkeep of our friaries and vehicles, staff salaries, and retreats, so that we can keep our attention focused on serving the poor and building up God’s Church.
What if a friar remembered you every time he celebrated Mass?
Picture this…
Standing in the sacristy in our private chapel as he vests for Mass, a Franciscan friar faces a wall of tiles. The friar looks up at the wall and, seeing your tile, whispers a prayer for you and your intentions. He then bears your intentions in his heart as he enters the sanctuary to celebrate Holy Mass.
Today you can purchase your own prayer tile to be hung in our sacristy, and the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Spirit will remember your intentions at every Mass!
All funds raised from the tiles will go towards refurbing the Our Lady of Lourdes grotto adjacent to the Friary. The grotto used to be a hub of prayer for the Natives we serve but has been in disarray for 30 years. Now, we're restoring the grotto to what it used to be so it can once again be a place of prayer.
The Friar Circle
Join a dedicated group of monthly donors who fuel our missionary efforts among Christ’s poor and marginalized, particularly on the Native American Reservations and in the inner-cities.
As a member of the Friar Circle, you play an essential role in our efforts to rebuild Christ’s Church and minister to the poor.
In gratitude for your support, we invite you to our annual Friar Circle retreat and give you access to other special content throughout the year.
We also send you a beautiful, handcrafted Tau Cross chaplet, made and prayed over by one of our friars for your intentions.
Go Rebuild My Church Fund
Partner with us to bring teens to the love of Jesus at conferences, offer healing Grief to Grace retreats to Native Americans, and rebuild the body of Christ through fostering encounters with Jesus.
Help form our future priests
As you can imagine, seminary formation is expensive. The annual cost of tuition and living expenses per seminarian is roughly $40,000. But with your help, we can cover that cost, and also provide our seminarians with the room, board, meals, and books they need to be formed as future priests.
