Young Adults (YOUFRA)

We believe… and because we believe, we are joyful.

Living our Christian faith with joy and surrounded by sisters and brothers with whom we can share our journey to God – growing together in the hope of making a difference by our simple acts in our everyday world … That’s YouFra!

Hoping to find our true mission in the Church following the model of Saint Francis of Assisi … That’s YouFra!

Franciscan Young adults is where members between the ages of 17 and 30 – meeting in fraternity – embrace a true community spirit and develop a sense of belonging. With a community spirit, a sense of belonging and the continual support of Secular Franciscan Order and Franciscan spiritual assistants, we grow in the human, Christian and Franciscan dimensions of our lives.

Franciscan young adults is very much like you. We are students, friends, colleagues, someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend. In addition, Jesus, in the Gospel, is the center of our lives. This is how Saint Francis understood his life, and he is our role model and guide.

We believe the world could be a better place – a place where people live as one family – with respect for each person because we are brothers and sisters in Christ.  God has planted His words in every person’s heart! All our paths lead to God and our map and guide for the journey is Saint Francis of Assisi!

Peace and all good!
