Marian Franciscans

The Marian Franciscans are "a private association of the Christian faithful whose ministry is the New Evangelization." Blog: Vocation 2 New Evangelizaion. Through the intercession and example of St. John Paul II, our patron, we dedicate all that we are and were created to be to our Charism as Agents of the New Evangelization, fueled by the Eucharist and by our common spirituality and devotion. As Agents of the New Evangelization our Charism is Rooted in the Church, in her history, in her Tradition, in her Magisterium, in her Sacramental life, in her members, and in her Spouse Jesus Christ. Committed to fostering unity among generations, cultures, dioceses, parishes, religious congregations, families, and individuals. Zealous for the sanctity of souls, placing special emphasis on bringing those who have experienced a crisis of faith back to the heart of the Church through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and on cultivating within Catholics fertile soil to remain faithful to the Sacramental life and Gospel living. "Therefore, my friends, I implore you by God's mercy to offer your very selves to Him: a living sacrifice dedicated and fit for His acceptance, the worship offered by mind and heart. Conform no longer to the pattern of this present world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds. Then you will be able to discern the will of God, and to know what is good, acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:1-2).
