You don’t have to know where the journey will lead to begin.
Young Adult Franciscans — Charlotte is a developing community for Catholic young adults, approximately ages 21–39, who want to explore Franciscan spirituality through:
Prayer • Community • Service • Conversation • Formation • Fellowship
We gather to discover what it means to follow Jesus in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare—and how the Franciscan way of life can speak to the real questions and experiences of young adults today.
This is not simply another meeting to add to your calendar. It is an invitation to explore a Gospel way of life.
Come as you are.
Share a meal.
Meet other young Catholics.
Ask questions.
Pray.
Serve.
Explore Franciscan spirituality.
And discover a community where faith and everyday life can meet.
There is no expectation that you already know anything about Franciscan spirituality or the Secular Franciscan Order.
For some, Young Adult Franciscans may simply become a place to grow in faith and experience Franciscan spirituality.
For others, something deeper may begin to emerge:
Young Adult Franciscans provides a place to explore that question freely and prayerfully.
Our pathway is simple:
And for those who eventually discern a vocation to the Secular Franciscan Order, that journey can continue through formation, profession, and life within the wider Franciscan fraternity.
You don’t have to answer that question today.
Whether you already love St. Francis, are searching for Catholic community, or are simply curious about what Franciscan life might have to offer—
you are welcome.
Bring your questions.
Bring your story.
Bring a friend.
