The Holy Dormition / Saint Clare Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order was founded in the late 1940s, and today consists of approximately 35 permanently professed members.  The fraternity meets on the first Sunday of each month at 2 p.m.

Our fraternity is part of an international secular order of Catholics in communion with Rome. Our fraternity includes members of the Byzantine and Roman Catholic Churches.
