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.

“As followers of Christ, we cannot fail to be concerned for the welfare of the weakest; we must also draw the attention of society and the civil authorities to their plight.”

—Pope Francis
