The Secular Franciscan Order, or SFO, is an Order of Catholic men and women throughout the world who, attracted to the person and charism of Saint Francis, recognize that they are called by God to profess the Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order, and so to "follow Christ in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi" (Rule, Article 1), preaching the Gospel ... using words when necessary.

Individual Secular Franciscans gather in local fraternities to pray, study, witness, engage in apostolic work, and share community with one another.  The local fraternities in the United States are organized into Regions.  Saint Katharine Drexel Region, under the patronage of St. Katharine Drexel, who was a Secular Franciscan and whose feast we celebrate on March 3rd, includes parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and is one of thirty regions within the United States.
