Holy Spirit Fraternity
Holy Spirit Fraternity
We are Catholic men and women who bring the Gospel to life through prayer, formation, and service.
Secular Franciscans are single and married women and men, and diocesan clergy, who live in their own homes with their families, gather in community regularly to pray, share life experiences, and continue a journey of lifelong formation.
Individually and together, we serve through apostolic work, with particular outreach to the poor and marginalized, with a focus on peace, justice, and care of creation.
The members of this Fraternity come from eastern Los Angeles county and the Inland Empire.
