A Franciscan Reflection in a Time of Crisis

Through our uniquely Franciscan relational love, we have compiled some resources here for our members and friends during this troubling time.

Join a Franciscan Solidarity Table Today

The Franciscan Action Network connects Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted individuals from all branches of the Franciscan family tree through Franciscan Solidarity Tables, a grassroots advocacy initiative that is taking shape in cities throughout the country.

Our Mission

Inspired by the Gospel of Jesus, and the example of Saints Francis and Clare, the Franciscan Action Network is a collective Franciscan voice seeking to transform United States public policy related to peace making, care for creation, poverty, and human rights.
