Becoming a Friar
How do I
become of Franciscan?
An important step in becoming a Franciscan involves contacting
the vocation director. He will then send you an initial
questionnaire. Once that questionnaire is returned, the vocation
director will likely request a meeting with you.
This is but the beginning of a mutual discernment between the
Franciscan community and an Inquirer. Through prayer, getting to
know each other, and a formal application (includes 10 page
biography, medical tests, baptismal certificate, etc), the
Franciscan community and most especially the Inquirer discern
whether or not he should begin the process of formation.
From time of entry until solemn vows, the formation process takes
about 5 to 7 years; an extra year is added for those on track for
ordination.
Anyone discerning a Religious vocation is advised to have a
spiritual director.
