Religious Vocation

"Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Come, see & join

Our Conventual Franciscan Family

If you feel you have received the gift of "vocation" and desires to become a Conventual Franciscan, come and live with us during one of our bi-annual Vocation Search-In Programs. Contact our Vocation Director or visit one of our Vocation Promoters in our friaries. In your discernment process, we recommend that you find a spiritual director who will guide you.

Each applicant will be assisted by our Vocation Director together with his team of Vocation Promoters, who will introduce him to the friars in the community. If he is a serious applicant, they may invite him to one of the Vocation Search-In Programs. During the Search-In, the applicant will begin the assessment process. Examinations and interviews will be conducted to see if the applicant is fit to be accepted. At the conclusion of this process, the Acceptance Committee will deliberate and evaluate the applicants. If accepted, the applicant will be invited to join the Aspirancy Program and become part of our growing Conventual Franciscan family here in the Philippines.

Kaya, tara na! Sali ka!
