Franciscan Justice Circles Overview

Local Engagement in Social and Environmental Justice Rooted in Franciscan Spirituality

Franciscan Justice Circles connect Franciscan-hearted individuals who feel called to engage in local grassroots advocacy.

Rooted in the tradition of St. Francis and St. Clare, the Franciscan Justice Circles move us toward being a community of love in action for justice. Conversations are happening across the country now.
