"Lord, Tell Me What To Do"
Discernment can be described as a process of spiritual exploration - a time in which a man or woman acknowledges God's call to serve Him in a particular vocation. If you are inspired by St. Francis and his example, then you may have a vocation to the Capuchin Franciscans.
A person who is interested in becoming a Capuchin Franciscan remains in contact with the Vocation Director. The Director helps him discern his call through visits to our fraternities, conferences and “Come and See” Weekends. This period of discernment can be as long as needed.

Lord Jesus Christ, you called St. Francis of Assisi
to follow you in living the Gospel life.
You inspired others to follow him
by the power of his example.
We ask you to increase vocations to the Church,
to the Capuchin Order, especially on the West Coast,
and to all religious orders.
Inspire young men and women to devote their lives in your service.
This we earnestly petition
through our Seraphic Father,
St. Francis and Our Lady of Angels,
Patroness of the Capuchin Franciscans Western America Province.
AMEN.

The Capuchins are followers of the Gospel in the way of St. Francis of Assisi. Like him, we are called to be brothers to all people. We strive to be men of prayer and action, living and working together in community and ministry. Through our vows of poverty, chastity and obedience we are men of faith, hope and love.
We belong to a fraternity that spans the globe. In the West, the Province of Our Lady of Angels includes California, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington and Northern Mexico.
We work with the poor and the sick, in schools and parishes, prisons and hospitals, in the missions and more.
Our goal? To love and serve others through Jesus Christ and Saint Francis.
