Since 1961, Franciscan Mission Associates (FMA) has brought the ministry of St. Francis to people’s daily lives through a two-fold undertaking of providing spiritual and financial support.
We fundraise for the missions, ministries, and friars of the Immaculate Conception (IC) Province of the Franciscan Friars. And, we provide devotional service to our benefactors and supporters.

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
God of power and mercy,
You blessed the Americas at Tepeyac with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. May her prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers and sisters.
Through your justice present in our hearts, may your peace reign in the world.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Saint of the month
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Feast Day – December 12
The Virgin Mary is venerated under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe due to her apparition to an Aztec Indian named Juan Diego on December 9, 1531 at Tepeyac, a hill in northwest Mexico City.
To help convince the bishop of the truth of her apparition, the Virgin Mary spoke to Juan Diego in his language and told him to go to the top of the hill where he would find Castilian roses.
