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. Peregrine
St. Peregrine,
We come to you confidently to implore your aid with God in our necessity. You were converted instantly from a worldly life by the good example of one holy person. You were cured instantaneously of cancer by God’s grace and unceasing prayer.
As you bow before our Lord in Heaven, speak to Him of our hope for release from pain and suffering, and our unwavering faith in the love of God. Through Christ, our Lord, I ask.
Amen.
Saint of the month
St. Peregrine
Feast Day – May 1
Peregrine Laziosi was born in 1265 in Forli in Italy. As a young man, he led a worldly and dissolute life. In his teens, he joined the enemies of the Pope in his hometown and became a ringleader of rebels.
Pope Martin IV sent Philip Benizi of the Order of Servites (Servants of Mary) as his personal ambassador to try to bring peace to the angry rebels. While addressing crowds of malcontents one day, he was dragged off the rostrum, beaten with clubs, and pelted with rocks. Peregrine knocked down Benizi with a vicious blow to the face.
