Digital Franciscans

Pax et Bonum!

Welcome to Digital Franciscans. The goal of this site is to gather together, in one place, links to as many Franciscan websites and online resources as possible. If you know of a something that should be included, please leave a comment below.

Here’s what you will find on each of the site’s pages, all of which can be accessed using the tabs above:

Franciscan Blogs and News Sites: If a Franciscan website is updated on a regular basis and has an RSS feed, you’ll find it here — along with links to the site’s last 5 posts, all in an easy to peruse format.
Franciscan Websites: This is it, the big list of all the Franciscan websites and online resources (well almost, it’s still under construction) organized by category. There is a list of categories at the top of the page so you can jump right down to what interests you the most.
Franciscan Tweets: A live, constantly updated tweet stream from 150 Franciscans on Twitter.
Blog: News and updates. I’ll try to announce new additions to the site on this page on a regular basis. This blog has it’s own RSS feed and can also be followed on Twitter (@DigFranciscans).

Although it doesn’t have a tab, you might also want to check out The Big List. It includes every link gathered on the Digital Franciscans site in alphabetical order as well as a another search box to help you find the specific link you are looking for.

Great site, always wondered when someone was going to do something like this. God’s blessing to you. Have recommended it my other Brothers as well.

Thanks for this great website. Will be following you on Twitter. We have started a new ministry to offer WordPress websites to the Secular Franciscan Order: http://sfousa.org/

Catholic Web Services is run by two members of the Secular Franciscan Order in Charlottesville, Virginia with a new fraternity: Mount La Verna http://peaceandallgood.org/

I follow a lot of Catholic New Media and share the best each week in Sweet Tweets with my friend Lisa Hendey (CatholicMom.com) at her Patheos Blog every Friday: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lisahendey/category/sweet-tweets/

  Hi John, What a great idea! You will be making great strides in helping the order have a presense online. I’m going to have a page devoted to the SFO on Digital Franciscan as soon as I can. I’ll be sure to feature SFPusa.

A new website has been built for the Saint Margaret of Cortona Region SFO which serves DC, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It is at the same address, but now managed by the two SFO members at Catholic Web Services who are in the Mount LaVerna Fraternity in Charlottesville, VA http://www.saintmargaretofcortona.com/
