HISTORY OF THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER
IN THE UNITED STATES - VOLUME 1
1917 - 1942

By William Wicks, S.F.O.

"The effort mounted by former national minister Bill Wicks, SFO is monumental because, first of all, it places the present identity and mission of the SFO in the context of its history; secondly, it shows the future direction of gospel living by examining the past; and thirdly, it threads together into a unified tapestry the SFO/TOSF's movements, happenings, and objectives crossways among all the familes and forward through the span of time.

As one who has been keenly involed in assisting the Secular Franciscan Order for over 32 years on the local, provincial, regional, national, and international levels, I so look forward to this history and cry out with jubilation: FINALLY! "

From the foreword of the the book by Fr. Benet A. Fonck, O.F.M.

(Published by NAFRA. Paperback cover, 437 pages. Price 15.00)

"I've finished reading the first 75 pages, and I find the History of the Secular Franciscan Order, fascinating and informative. We owe Bill Wicks a debt of gratitude for this great work."
