The Irish Franciscans
The vision of St Francis was a simple one: he saw himself as living in a universe that reflected the beauty of God, sharing it with other creatures who he regarded as his brothers and sisters. The Irish Franciscan Province was established in 1230 and for almost 800 years the Irish friars have striven to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, following the example of Francis of Assisi, and minister to God's people throughout Ireland and in many other lands. It is their belief that the message and vision of Francis and Clare of Assisi has never grown old - it still has the power to bring people closer to God and each other, in peace.
