St. Boniface Secular Franciscan Fraternity
Most high glorious God, elighten the darkness of my heart, give me, Lord, a correct faith, a certain hope, a perfect charity, sense and knowledge, so that I may carry out Your Holy and true command. - Francis of Assisi
Prayer
We pray alone and together, and learn about Christ, St. Francis, St. Claire, the Church and ourselves by reflecting on our daily lived experience relating it to Christ's life and teaching and living with the Gospels as our guide to reach out to others.
​
We each have our own daily prayers that speaks to matters personally concerning us or that we feel may be helpful to a Family members or friends needs.
Daily we say Our Franciscan prayers
between the hours of 12-1pm, we say 5 Hail Mary’s, this hour joins us spiritually in prayer as a fraternity so that each Hail Mary which is dedicated to each of the Commissions, Family, Formation, Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation, along with our prayers for Vocations is said in unison. Please pray to our saints for their intercession for our sick, homebound and deceased members and for our fraternity. Especially pray for the recently deceased soul and their families.
