Catalog of Ministries

We, Tiffin Franciscan, in the spirit of Francis and Clare, are drawn ever more deeply into union with God through contemplation-action, we choose as our own the goals of care of creation, peacemaking and concern for the poor. We challenge each other and society to reverence creation and to be in harmony with it. We commit ourselves to on-going conversation in our use of natural resources. Recognizing our oneness with all peoples as brothers and sisters and abhorring the violence within the human family, we proclaim the ‘pace e bene’ of Francis to break the cycle of violence. We commit ourselves to be forgivers and reconcilers among those with whom we live and minister. Recognizing our oneness with the most vulnerable of society and decrying the reality that many persons are marginalized and disenfranchised, we work toward alleviating their suffering and seek justice. We commit ourselves to improve the conditions of those lacking basic necessities of life.
