National Formation Objectives
In the formation of both novices and professed members, the following objectives are to be used as a guide. The Secular Franciscan will:
​
*be familiar with the life and spirituality of St. Francis and St. Clare and the Franciscan Family.
*know and understand the rule so that it becomes a guide for the Franciscan way of life.
*understand what it means to be committed to this way of life and the necessity of ongoing conversion.
*become an active member of the Secular Franciscan Order.
*develop a spirit of fraternity by getting to know the other members, have mutual love and respect for each of them and 
be committed to the care and service of each.

*be introduced to using the Word of God as a basis for prayer.
*foster an interior life which accords itself with the Franciscan call.
*carry out the Franciscan mission in the world by engaging in activities which promote justice, creation and the poor.
*integrate into his/her spiritual life the secular dimensions of the Franciscan calling, particularly in regards to the family and to work.
*become an active member of the Church community.
