About our community
Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago
We are a Catholic religious community living and serving among the poor in Chicago’s West Humboldt Park neighborhood with branches for men and women. Our life centers upon our relationship with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Out of our life of prayer flow our community life and our apostolates: service to the poor, Evangelization and teaching. In our apostolates we emphasize providing opportunities for encounters with Jesus in the Eucharist both at Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration. We believe that if you can’t see Jesus in the Eucharist, you can’t see Him in the poor.
Charism
Every religious community has a unique charism. A charism is a gift from the Holy Spirit, which gives the community its identity.
