Secular Franciscan Order is at its fifth year of establishment. It was started by Rev. Fr. Alban in 2005 and has 37 members as per this year. The SFO conducts meetings once a month which includes prayer and sharing. The order is kept active by the participation of all the members in every activity. The office of bearers participated in the diocese level meeting held at St. Ann’s Friary on 12-2-2010. During this time we bid farewell to our spiritual director Rev. Fr. Maxim Pinto. The SFO is grateful to him for his guidance and support for the past five years. Rev. Fr. Roshan Menezes has taken over as the new spiritual director of SFO. He too was welcomed during the same programme. The editor of Franciscan magazine, Br.
