Welcome
To The New Order of St. Francis & St. Clare
St. Anthony's Guild
We are a community of Catholic Christians who seek to
find closer communion with God through emulating the life of Saint
Francis, Saint Clare and St. Anthony in our times.
As a Religious Order of the Worldwide Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ clergy and laity strive for the spiritual well-being of all people of good will.
As members of the Order and the Saint Anthony Guild, we pursue a life of simplicity, prayer, contemplation and spirituality while living either in the world as tertiaries or as friars and sisters in communities, or in your home.
We offer Mass and prayers for the departed, known to our families and friends, and the unknown who die in loneliness.
In the Spirit of our Saints, Members of the Guild of St. Anthony serve our loving God supporting our Friars in their tireless work serving the homeless, the poor, the neglected in society, and striving for Peace in the world.
Please, if you can join us for Sunday Mass at our Cathedral in Detroit, Michigan
At 11:00 Am, USA Eastern Time
May the Life of Saint Anthony, St. Francis and Saint Clare inspire many men and women to follow Christ.
With our Prayers for you all where ever you are in this world.
Be blessed and be a blessing to others.
Your Franciscans, Sisters of St. Francis and Saint Clare and St. Anthony's Guild.
Dr. Karl Rodig, NOSF
Archbishop and Superior General NOSF

What we live by
As Franciscans, we follow the Rule of life that is modeled after St. Francis for the 21st Century.
We make vows to live according to:
Chastity pursuant to ones state in life. We experience and live our vows as single, or married persons, male and female, all under the same rule of life.
- Obedience: to God's Will and purpose for your life to follow the Rule of the Order.
- Simplicity: to live a simple life not seeking material gains at the expense of the community around you. Showing concern for your neighbor.
We invite you to read about us, and prayerfully consider if this just might be a "calling" for you to grow spiritually in Christ Jesus, our Savior as a member of our Order.
If so... Please write us with any questions you may have or to request and inquirer enrollment application.
