1. If you feel that God is calling you to become an Associate, write a letter telling
us about yourself and why you feel called to join our Franciscan family.
Write to:
The Secretary for Associates
573 Dolores Street
San Francisco CA 94110
2. After receiving guidelines from the Secretary for Associates, write your Rule
of Life and ask a friend who knows you well to send in a letter of recommendation.
3. Upon receipt of your Rule and the recommendation, the Secretary will let you know
how to arrange a reception service and will send you the Associate's pin.
Having said all that, we hope you will still feel drawn towards the Associates of the
Society of St. Francis. May God bless you on your journey.
