The Franciscan Discipleship Pathway invites ministries to form young people into intentional disciples of Jesus Christ through a dynamic journey of Encounter, Accompaniment, Formation, and Mission—rooted in belonging, authentic relationships, and lived faith. Through this pilot program, parishes, schools, and ministries will implement a flexible four‑module model while receiving leadership training, ongoing support, and practical tools to strengthen evangelization and community life.
Ready to renew your ministry and help shape a province-wide vision? Join our Discipleship Pathway Pilot and journey with us in forming the next generation of Franciscan leaders.

Selected parishes, schools and ministries will receive:
Each module includes a structured four-session experience rooted in Scripture, the life of St. Francis, practical spirituality and concrete invitations to deeper discipleship.
