The Little Franciscan Servants of the Poor is a religious order within the AAOCC. Outreach to the poor and homeless is the primary mission of the LFSP. One may seek entry to the Franciscans without also seeking entry into the AAOCC seminary nor the formation program for priestly ordination. Members may be men or women, married or celibate. Some may live in community while others have families. All of our members have outside employment while we work toward an actual monastic home. Applications to the Franciscan Order is made directly to the Abbot General, Friary Michael McNamara. He can be reached at: franciscans@americanoldcatholic.org.
