Franciscan values guide new affiliates
"The value of simple living is at my core."

"I was inspired by everything Franciscan."

"Live fully ... stop doing and just be."

These are just a few words of reflection offered by new affiliates who joined FSPA in 2021 — 14 in all. They come to the FSPA community as spiritual collaborators joined in sacred relationship, supporting one another to live the Gospel and transform our world.
