DONATE

The Vocation Office has new Holy Cards!

Check out these cards for St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Anthony Fasani, and St. Maximilian Kolbe.

We’re excited to have these holy cards available for vocation fairs, Come & See visits, and other events. (You can learn more about these men of faith and other notable Conventual Franciscan friars here.) May the intercessions of these great Franciscan Saints strengthen our faith, inspire new vocations, and encourage us to preach the truth with love and courage. Amen.
