Visitations

The primary purpose of visitations is clear: to stimulate, encourage and ani-mate the Franciscan evangelical spirit.

Fraternal and Pastoral Visitations are held once every three years. They should serve as a guarantee and promote the observance of the Rule and Constitutions and fidelity to the Franciscan charism, the Church and society.

It is a privileged moment of communion with the 1st Order and the TOR, as well as members of the Regional Executive Council.

Visitations promote collaboration and a sense of co-responsibility among the fraternity leaders and members. Special attention is given to programs, methods and experiences of formation, to the liturgical and prayer life, and to the apostolic activities of the fraternity.
