Job Description

Franciscan Friars, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Inc

Administration Assistant/Services Coordinator, Development

New York City

Organizational background and Mission

We Franciscans owe our inspiration to Francesco di Bernardone, an affluent young merchant from the Italian town of Assisi, who in 1206 renounced his wealth and social status in favor of a life dedicated to God and the poor. His life and ministry inspired other men to join him and become the first Franciscan friars. Today, Francesco is known as St. Francis of Assisi, and the Order of Friars Minor comprises more than 100 provinces located around the world.

The Franciscans have a long, rich history of ministry to the poor and marginalized in the United States. In recent years, the number of religious in the United States has declined, and so, to strengthen their Franciscan witness in the U.S., six of the American provinces – Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Holy Name, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Sacred Heart, St. Barbara and St. John the Baptist – came together to form one new Atlanta-based province in October 2023.

This unification hopes to revitalize Franciscan life and ministry in the United States while modifying their governance structure.


The Gospel life of the Friars has four central components: first, to be men of prayer; second, to live as lesser ones, “not making anything our own;” third, to create a brotherhood of mutual care among ourselves; and fourth, to “go about the world” entering people’s everyday lives as heralds of God’s reign and agents of Gospel peace.
