OUR CHARISMS
The Capuchins are contemplatives in action
The Capuchins live the Gospel inspired by the life and ideals of St. Francis of Assisi. They are dedicated to serving those in need, living a simple life together as a community of brothers, and drawing closer to the Lord through prayer. They work to make sure that the light of Christ in those persons they serve is not being obscured by ignorance or injustice or poverty of any kind.
Through their charisms of Fraternity, Minority, Contemplation, Ministry and Justice/Peace/Ecology, the Capuchins give hope to the world around them and help make the Kingdom of God present here and now.

FRATERNITY
Our life as brothers is a fruit and a sign of the transforming power of the Gospel and of the coming of the kingdom. Like the leaven of the Gospel, it calls us to promote genuine relationships among all people and nations so that the world may live as a single family under the gaze of its Creator. - 13.4 Constitutions of the Capuchin Friars
Our life as brothers is a fruit and a sign of the transforming power of the Gospel
MINORITY
Therefore we gladly live our life as brothers among the poor, sharing their distress and lowly state with great love. - 14.3 Constitutions of the Capuchin Friars
CONTEMPLATION
For this purpose we make every effort to give priority to a life of prayer, especially contemplative prayer. - 5.3 Constitutions of the Capuchin Friars
We promote the apostolic dimension of our life
MINISTRY
We promote the apostolic dimension of our life by proclaiming the Gospel and in other various ways that are in harmony with our charism, while always preserving a spirit of minority and service. - 5.5 Constitutions of the Capuchin Friars
JUSTICE, PEACE AND CARE FOR CREATION
While we relieve the material and spiritual needs (of the poor), may our lives, actions and words be generously spent for the promotion of their human and Christian development. - 14.4 Constitutions of the Capuchin Friars
“By doing this we manifest the spirit of our life as lesser brothers and become a leaven of justice, unity, and peace.”
