Fred Schaeffer, OFS has retired from webmastering the CIOFS website (eff. 1/31/2012) for health reasons, after 8+ years. CIOFS is attempting to build a new website on a Joomla® platform. This move has been in the works since 2010 because Joomla is a type of platform where preparation of files can be done by many different people. It may take to Easter 2012 for this site to be finished. They are making good progress. You could check it out at: http://www.ciofs.org/portal

The original CIOFS website covering the years 1996-2011 will remain available to you.

Prayer Requests

Profession, A gift of the Spirit.
by Fr. Felice Cangelosi, OFM Cap

      …A Grace and a Gift:
      …The Action of Christ and the Church;
      …A Gift given by the Father;
      …A "true Order" a "true Profession";
      …Takes on the Form of a Pentecost;
      …A Commitment to live a penitential life;
      …A commitment of life and for life;
      …A Secular state that is consecrated to God.
