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 St. Anne
Almighty and eternal Father,
You gave St. Anne the privilege of being the mother of Blessed Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. Through the intercession of Saint Anne, we ask you to continue to bless all Families.
May the prayers of Saint Anne help us attain the salvation you promised your people.
Amen.
Saint of the month
St. Anne
Feast Day – July 26
In the Protoevangelium of St. James, a book written at the same time as the Gospels but not considered inspired Scripture, we are told that Anne was the name of the Virgin Mary’s mother. In speaking to St. Anne, we therefore speak to the grandmother of Jesus..
In the divine plan of salvation, Anne and her husband Joachim were given special places in the chain of events that eventually led to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. She gave birth to Mary, raised her religiously, and helped her become the worthy handmaid of the Lord.
