Franciscans of the Immaculate

Bringing the Immaculate to the World!

“Why has She chosen us for this task? This is a mystery of Her love.” – St. Maximilian M. Kolbe

Who We Are

Friars in Prayer

The Franciscans of the Immaculate live a life following in the footsteps of the Seraphic father, St. Francis of Assisi, living according to the Definitive Rule of St. Francis (1223), after the example of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe (sometimes known as the “St. Francis of the 20th century”). We strive to achieve perfect union with Christ Crucified through the maternal mediation of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and to conquer all souls for Christ through her, spreading devotion to her using any licit means (preaching, missions, mass-media, etc.). All of this is accomplished through our first, constitutive vow, called the “Marian Vow”, that is, unlimited consecration to the Immaculate Virgin Mary, which marianizes our whole religious life.
