Give Generously

In almost every way, the friars depend on the generosity of friends and benefactors. Saint Francis was convinced that God would provide for the friars through the goodness of others. In fact, he demanded that his friars be beggars, trusting completely in God's providence, as shown in the generosity and love of others.

Nearly 800 years later, friars still turn to ordinary people, begging them for the financial resources necessary for the growth of the Order and its service in the Church. It's only through the sacrificial generosity of benefactors that the friars exist at all.
