The Six Communities of Mission San Luis Rey

Franciscan Friars of Old Mission San Luis Rey

"Those who embraced this life gave everything they had to the poor. They were satisfied with one habit which was patched inside and out, with a cord and trousers ..."

-Testament of St Francis 

Like his original followers, Franciscans today are called to be persons of prayer

involved in a variety of ministries. A Community of Franciscan Friars call the

Old Mission home with some working in the Parish, the Old Mission, the Franciscan School of Theology and the Cemetery,

while others are retired.

Family Prayer for the Year of FaithO God our Father, by the light of the Holy Spirit, lead us to

be thankful for the gift of faith, and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with

Jesus, your Son, and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy

to all we meet. We ask this in the name of

Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of

redemption.

Franciscan School of Theology - 2013 FST is a Roman Catholic graduate theological school, owned and operated by the Province of

Saint Barbara of the Order of Friars Minor. Rooted in 800 years of Franciscan tradition, FST is a place where the issues and concerns of society intersect

with theological education. FST students and alumni are workers in the fields of a spiritually

starving world. They provide for the poor; they promote social justice; they care for the suffering in homes and hospitals; they console the dying; they

provide comfort to the neglected in community centers; they teach, they celebrate the sacraments in our parishes; they are – in the spirit of Clare and

Francis of Assisi – Christian witnesses in the world.
