Capuchin Franciscans - Province of Mid-America [St. Conrad Province]

Denver, Colorado

Cause Description:
The Capuchin Province of Mid America, a regional division of a worldwide religious order of the Roman Catholic Church, serves the needs of people in Colorado and Kansas. It also sponsors missionary friars who work in Papua New Guinea. The brothers and priests who are part of the Capuchin Province of Mid America take their inspiration from their founder, St. Francis of Assisi. They live lives of simplicity, prayer and ministry. Through their life together and concern for the poor, they give witness to a spirit of brotherhood. The Capuchins seek those ministries which can best serve the Church, both local and universal. In Mid America, the bishops and Capuchin tradition have called the friars to evangelization efforts and ministries to the poor and marginalized. In response, the Capuchins have led people to parish renewal, restoration of Christian family life and the promotion of social justice. Since much of the Province's territory is rural, the friars support the local bishops in their efforts to preserve the land and its ownership by the local farmers.
