Franciscan Friars (O.F.M.),
Province of Saint John the
Baptist We live the way of life
established by St. Francis of Assisi
800+ years ago. Yes, our distinctive
brown habit attracts attention, but most of
all we want our alternative lifestyle to stand
out as a living witness to the goodness of God
and the joy of living the Gospel in the 21st
century. We have fraternities of friars around
the U.S. and even in Jamaica! We serve the
Catholic Church in high schools, universities,
parishes, hospitals (as nurses and chaplains),
in inner-city ministries, retreat houses,
publishing (books, social media, and internet
content with “Franciscan Media”), and
missions both foreign and domestic. In all of
our ministries we preach the Good News of
Jesus Christ. Join us in living the gospel in
fraternity, in simplicity, and most of all
joyfully! See our website, www.franciscan.
org, or contact Br. Tim Lamb, O.F.M. at
becomeafriar@gmail.com or phone/text: 513-
218-3547.

Franciscan Friars (O.F.M.), Province of
the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary We are Franciscans, brothers embraced by Mystery which shapes our trust
in God and one another. God’s Providence
has sustained our ministries, made us resilient, and freed us to be open to change. This
freedom fosters our unique commitment as
a Roman and Byzantine Catholic community to re-shape O.F.M. life in response to
the changes in our Churches and world.
The joy of the Gospel urges us to the periphery, where God’s love impels us to invite
others to the experience of Christ’s mercy
and forgiveness. Located primarily in the
Great Lakes area and northeast Pennsylvania, we serve the People of God in a variety
of ministries, including parishes, education,
preaching, chaplaincies, working among
the poor, and in domestic missions in the
Mississippi Delta and the Texas/Mexico border. To learn more, contact: Fr. Greg Plata,

Franciscan Friars (O.F.M.), Province of the
Immaculate Conception The Franciscans
of the Province of the Immaculate Concep-

St. Bonaventure University, two Provinces,

Glenmary Home Missioners
(G.H.M.) Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations—including
our own! Glenmary is a commu-
nity of missionary priests and brothers with
a unique calling to serve rural mission areas
of the United States. Glenmarians take up the
challenge to serve the spiritual and material
needs of people living in some of the most
impoverished counties in the South and Ap-
palachia. Glenmary Missioners bring the
sacraments to places where frequently less
than 1 percent of the population is Catholic.
They evangelize in counties where over 50
percent of the population is unchurched.
Glenmary missioners proclaim and witness
to the Good News of Jesus Christ and the
power of God’s love, mercy, and justice. Glen-
mary also has opportunities for long-term lay
volunteers in our missions. For more infor-
mation or to attend a “Come & See” week-
end, contact: Br. David Henley., G.H.M., P.O.

Hospitaller Order of St. John of
God, (O.H.) Hospitaller Brothers
can be found in over 50 countries
around the world in hospitals,
nursing homes, centers for the elderly,
schools for children with special needs, and
countless other programs for those in need.
As sons of St. John of God, we strive by word
and deed to proclaim the love of God through
the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and His
Church to all. As Brothers, we are called to
live in community with other men who profess the same vows of Poverty, Chastity,
Obedience, and Hospitality. Our lives as
Brothers of St. John of God allow us to
deepen our own relationship with the Lord,
as we as bring hope to those in need. Each of
our communities has the spirit of our Order,
which is Hospitality. It is through this spirit
we strive to welcome all with whom we come
into contact. Vocation inquiries: Province of
the Good Shepherd in North America; sjog-na.org; VocationsUsa@sjog-na.org; Vocation-sCanada@sjog-na.org; 815-472-3131.

Jesuits (S.J.) We are the Society of Jesus, a
Roman Catholic order of priests and brothers founded half a millennium ago by the
soldier-turned-mystic Ignatius Loyola. But
most people call us “the Jesuits.” In the vision
of our founder, we seek to “find God in all
things.” We dedicate ourselves to the “greater
glory of God” and the good of all humanity.
With 16,000-plus priests, brothers, scholastics and novices worldwide, we are the largest
male religious order in the Catholic Church.
We are pastors, teachers, and chaplains. We
are also doctors, lawyers, and astronomers,
among many other roles in Church and society. We aim to be “contemplatives in action,”
people who bring our rich spiritual tradition
into the wider world. Might you join us in
this mission? Visit beajesuit.org and @beaje-suit on Instagram and Facebook.
