As Friars, we are members of a religious order that follows the rules and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. We live a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and dedicate ourselves to serving God and the poor of El Paso. We depend for our survival on the goodwill of the people to whom we preach and serve.

We do not own our homes or any personal property. We live in communities called friaries, which are owned or rented and maintained by the order. As mentioned above, as friars we rely on donations, and other sources of income to support our ministry of helping the local El Paso community.

Note: Some friars may have secular jobs outside of the friary to help support our religious community.
