As Franciscans we live in community.

• We share meals, recreation, prayer and friendship.
• We manifest understanding, encouragement, and forgiveness in  our relationships. 
• We share our joys and sorrows, bearing one another’s burdens and support one another as an expression of love.
• We respect and accept each other’s individuality.
• We encourage the development of personal ability.
•  We extend traditional Franciscan hospitality, welcoming all as guests, especially the poor.
