As we ponder the exciting journey of the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn for 165 years, we are truly amazed by the multitudes that have walked with us along this journey: family, friends, and benefactors. We are blessed to have so many that love us and care about the work that we do.

There are three ways to offer support.  First and foremost, you can remember us in your prayers.  Secondly, you can encourage young men to consider becoming a Franciscan Brother.  Sometimes it only takes a word or two of encouragement to awaken a calling that may be dormant inside someone’s heart.  Third, you can make an in-kind donation.

 St. Francis told his brothers that when their own labor was insufficient to support their life and mission, "they should go out, seeking alms with confidence." In that spirit, the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn gratefully request donations to support our life and work. We need the help of committed partners-in-ministry if we are to continue our educational and pastoral ministries in which we are engaged.

The good works of our Franciscan Brothers are made possible in part by generous benefactors. You may make a financial gift to assist us in our life and ministry. By clicking the donate button, you can make a charitable donation to support our Brothers.

Our senior Brothers spend their days engaged in a full-time ministry of prayer and presence. Mass is offered for our benefactors and we remember them in our prayers daily. You can specify that your donation goes to support our senior Brothers.

New Brothers prepare for our educational and pastoral ministries at various colleges and universities. You can designate your donation to help defray the cost of their education.

You can also choose to support the Poverello Fund that helps those in need.
