Men’s Religious Communities

AUGUSTINIANS (O.S.A.)
Midwest Province of the Augustinian Order
The Augustinian Order of Priests and Brothers is an international community represented in 50 countries.  It traces its spiritual roots to St. Augustine, a 5^th century Bishop and Doctor of the Church.  The Midwest Province in the U.S. was established in 1941.  The Augustinians value prayer, community life and ministry.  Ministries of the Augustinians include:  Catholic secondary education, University education, parish ministry, foreign missions, care for the sick and elderly, hospital chaplaincies, counseling and retreat ministry.  In Augustinian spirituality, love of God and of neighbor are the same.  Augustine writes in the very beginning of his Confessions, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”  Augustinian life is a shared journey to God, a life of contemplation and action, prayer and service

CAPUCHINS (O.F.M. Cap.)
Capuchin Franciscan Friars, Province of St. Joseph
Capucohins are a 16th century reform of the Franciscans. The early reform mixed an extensive contemplative lifestyle with active service outside the friary. This resulted in the Capuchins being called a “semi-contemplative order.” Today, this historical background is visible in Capuchin interest in retreat ministry, spirituality centers, and chaplaincies in hospitals, schools, jails, prisons, and nursing institutions. European Capuchins came to North America to serve immigrant populations in ethnic parishes and in institutions reflecting these special ministries to their served ethnic groups. Over the last century, Capuchins have increasingly involved themselves in direct services to poor people, and work addressing the causes of poverty. A strong missionary emphasis over the past 100 years has resulted in more than 80 Capuchin provinces in every corner of the world.

Order of Friars Minor, Assumption BVM Province

FRANCISCANS (O.F.M.)
Order of Friars Minor, St. John the Baptist Province
The Franciscan Order was founded by Saint Francis of Assisi over 800 years ago. His vision was simple: witness to the Gospel by living in fraternity observing holy obedience and chastity, without appropriating anything to oneself either as an individual or as a community. In 1844, Archbishop John Baptist Purcell asked Franciscan Friars from the Tyrol in Austria to come to Cincinnati to assist with the German speaking immigrants. And so Saint John the Baptist Province began. Quickly our numbers increased and we ministered in Oldenburg and Lafayette, IN; Emporia, KS; Bloomington, IL; Detroit, MI; and Chatham, ON, Canada. By the turn of the century our outreach included the Navajo Reservations in New Mexico and Arizona and, soon after, the Pueblo Reservations and Hispanic communities in New Mexico. Later, missionaries went to China and the Philippines and, more recently, Jamaica. Today we serve in 10 states from Pennsylvania to Arizona, Michigan to Louisiana, and in the Philippines, Japan, and Jamaica. Our ministries presently include parishes, hospital and academic chaplaincies, inner-city outreach, preaching, teaching, nursing, and evangelization. Franciscan Media (formerly Saint Anthony Messenger Press) continues to preach the Word through St. Anthony Messenger Magazine, and through other printed and electronic media. True to Saint Francis’ vision, our ministries continue to evolve according to the needs of the Church and the talents and abilities of the Friars.

FRANCISCANS (O.F.M.)
Order of Friars Minor, Province of the Sacred Heart
We welcome you to the Franciscan vision of the world, a world where love is more powerful than hate, forgiveness more powerful than revenge, hope more powerful than despair, community more powerful than isolation and God is more powerful than all that mitigates against goodness and hope.
The Franciscan charism and mission are rooted in living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a wide variety of ministries. Our Franciscan vocation in its various manifestations finds its raison d'être not in anything we do, but in what we are: following in the foot-steps and teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are called to build a Fraternity in which God is sought and loved above all things.

FRANCISCAN FRIARS, CONVENTUAL (O.F.M. Conv.)
The Conventual Franciscans are the oldest of the three existing branches of the First Order of St. Francis. The word Conventual is derived from the Latin convenire, “to come together”; hence we live together in “convents” or friaries. We take seriously the words of St. Francis, "And the Lord sent me brothers". Like all Franciscans, we are called to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in poverty, chastity and obedience, but we place special emphasis on our communal life. Our Order is spread throughout the world, and includes about 4500 priests and brothers who are all commonly called Friars. There are five provinces in North America, and a jurisdiction in the UK and Ireland. We wear a black or gray habit with a simple three-knotted cord representing our Vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. The Spiritual Center of the Order is in Assisi, Italy, where our Friars care for the Basilica of St. Francis, which includes his tomb. In addition, the Conventuals are the Vatican confessors at St. Peter’s Basilica. In Christ’s name, we continue the ministry of healing so fundamental to the understanding of Saint Francis.

Our founders, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac, believed that the Daughters of Charity should live in Community for the sake of the mission. We share in the common tasks of daily living, placing our diverse gifts at the service of our Sisters. We work together to create an environment in which we can celebrate, support, challenge and strengthen one another. There are about 23,000 Daughters of Charity who serve in 95 countries; about 950 Sisters minister here in the United States. Blessed with this legacy of love and dedication, we strive each day to make our tradition a reality through finding Christ in those we assist and with whom we work. Respect for the dignity of each person permeates our daily ministries. While assisting others as teachers, health care providers, social workers, advocates for those in need, parish associates, as well as many other roles we assume each day, our focus is always the same: that our brothers and sisters who are poor be served and that the message of the Gospel be proclaimed with joy.
