Seasonal Devotions
To observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Inspired by the life of our founder, St. Francis of Assisi, Capuchin friars seek to follow Jesus Christ in simplicity and joy. God's tremendous love moved Francis to love the outcast and forgotten, creation in all of its wonder and power, and even his imperfect brothers.
Share in the Hope
of the Resurrection
The promise of the Resurrection reminds us that God’s love is faithful, constant, and everlasting. This hope sustains the Capuchin Franciscan Friars each day as they pray, serve God’s people, and care for one another.
Your gift helps provide for our elderly friars who have devoted their lives to God’s people and supports the formation of young men preparing to serve the Church.
When you make a donation, your intentions and those of your loved ones are lovingly remembered in the daily Masses and prayers of our friars throughout the year.
As a meaningful expression of faith, we offer Easter cards that you may send to your loved ones. This is a comforting way to let someone know they are being remembered in prayer.
Honor the Blessed
Mother Mary
During the month of May, and throughout the year, we turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary with trust and love. As our spiritual Mother, she gently leads us closer to her Son and intercedes for all our needs.
When you submit your prayer intentions and make a gift to the Capuchin Franciscan Friars, your intentions are lovingly remembered in our daily Masses and prayers throughout the year.
Whether you seek healing, guidance, or peace, you can be assured that the friars will lift your needs to the Lord through Mary’s tender intercession.
As an expression of devotion, we offer the Blessed Mother Mary Prayer Book to help you grow closer to Our Lady in prayer.
Your generosity supports the care of our elderly friars and the formation of young men preparing to serve the Church and unites you spiritually with our friars in prayer each day under Mary’s loving care.
Saint Anthony and
Your Prayer Intentions
Saint Anthony has long been known as a powerful intercessor and a source of hope for those in need. In gratitude, we invite you to entrust your prayers—whether for healing, guidance, gratitude, or comfort—to the Capuchin Franciscan Friars.
Your intentions are remembered in the daily Masses and prayers of our friars throughout the year. In a special way, as we celebrate Saint Anthony, we hold a solemn Nine-Day Novena in honor of His Feast Day, praying for all of our donors and the intentions they have entrusted to us.
Your generous gift supports the prayerful life and ministry of the friars and unites your intentions to ours. We are deeply grateful for your support and promise to remember you and your loved ones in prayer.
Entrust Your Intentions
to Saint Padre Pio
Saint Padre Pio, the beloved Capuchin friar, reminds us to “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.” His life of sacrifice and powerful intercession continues to bring comfort to those who seek his help.
When you make a gift to the Capuchin Franciscan Friars, your intentions and those of your loved ones are reverently remembered in our daily prayers.
Each year, in honor of Padre Pio’s Feast Day, we hold a special Nine-Day Novena for all of our donors and the intentions entrusted to us.
Your generosity supports the care of our elderly friars, the formation of young men preparing to serve the Church, and our ministries to those in need. In gratitude, we faithfully remember you in prayer.
We invite you to share your intentions and become part of this beautiful tradition of prayer through the intercession of Saint Padre Pio.
Remembering
Our Faithful Departed
The month of November is dedicated in a special way to praying for our faithful departed.
In honor of All Souls’ Day, the Capuchin Franciscan Friars offer a Mass each day throughout November for all of our donors and for the intentions entrusted to us, especially for deceased loved ones.
When you share your intentions with us, your loved ones are remembered at the altar and included in the daily Masses and prayers of our friars.
Your generous gift supports the care of our elderly friars and the formation of young men preparing to serve the Church. In gratitude, we are honored to remember you, your intentions, and those dear to you in prayer.
