Welcome to the San Damiano Secular Franciscan Fraternity

We are a community of Catholic men and women in the Brighton, Michigan area who seek to live the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi. As Secular Franciscans, we live and work in the world, striving to bring Christ to our families, our workplaces, and our local community.

Our fraternity is a place of prayer, formation, and fellowship, where we support one another in our journey to follow Christ more closely. We gather monthly to share our faith, learn more about Franciscan spirituality, and grow together as brothers and sisters.

If you feel a calling to deepen your faith and live a Gospel life with the support of a spiritual family, we invite you to learn more about us.
