Do you sense the Lord's invitation to explore the possibility of a vocation to religious life? Do you have a desire to strive to follow Jesus in the footsteps of St. Francis in today's world, giving yourself over to a life of prayer, fraternity, and service to the poor and vulnerable? As you visit the pages of this website, are you attracted to what you see and read? 
 

If you are a Catholic man or woman in good physical health who desires to live a consecrated religious life and are attracted to our way of life, perhaps the Lord is calling you to discern your vocation with our community. The Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago has branches for both women and men. Our men's branch is open to men who feel called to be Franciscan priests as well as those who feel called to be lay brothers. 

 

Please visit this page to learn more about our vocation requirements. 
 

En este momento, nuestra comunidad no puede aceptar candidatos que no sean ciudadanos de Los Estados Unidos ni candidatos que no hablen bien el inglés. Si cree que el Señor lo/la está llamando a la vida religiosa, le recomendamos que se comunique con su párroco o con la oficina de vocaciones de su diócesis para informarse sobre comunidades religiosas locales de su área o comunidades internacionales. ¡Que Dios lo/la bendiga en su discernimiento!
