Engage Our Passion
With Francis of Assisi we desire to be channels of this love, to care for the vulnerable,
and to live simply in harmony with God, with others, with creation.
We invite you to being a relationship with us and to share in our passion.
Come & Be
There are many ways to come to the quiet, to put life on pause, to discover the Spirit’s whisperings within you & around you.
We invite you to come and be with us. Perhaps God is drawing you to one of these experiences.
- Contact us so we can help you find a spiritual director who can companion you on your spiritual journey.
- Like us on Facebook
- Check out the Franciscans For Earth Eco-Series on our events page.
- Choose quiet time in your living space and/or go to a park or nature setting and listen to what creation tells you.
- Turn off your phone and media and become comfortable with silence.
- Let God love you and love those around you.
Call us at 314-965-3700 to inquire about any of these “Come & Be” opportunities.
Come & Serve
Volunteering can be on a regular basis or occasionally as fits your schedule.
There are many gifts and many ways to serve with us.
- Assist us with office tasks, with mailing, stuffing envelopes, sorting and shredding papers at our Tau Center office in Kirkwood.

“Most high, glorious God, cast you light into the darkness of my heart. Give me right faith, firm hope and perfect charity with humility and wisdom, Lord, so I may do what is your holy and true will.”
