In the American Province, we assert that Associates, SSF, are associated with the Society of St. Francis as a whole. We recognize that, while most Associates would claim their association with the habited brothers or sisters, there are others whose association is primarily with the Third Order. We affirm all these relationships.

The current Secretary for Associates is a member of the Third Order of the Society of St. Francis.
