The Brothers gather around the gravesite monument that marks the future
gravesites of the Friars at All Souls Cemetery. The words: "Never be
first always be last" inscribed at the foot of the momument were the
words that John Paul II said to Br. Richard upon receiving the Constitutions
of the Order.

The
purpose of the Association, which is dedicated to the Apostolate, is for
it's members to strive for personal holiness while giving all honor and
glory to God.
The friars are to participate in the liturgical life of the parishes in which they reside, especially in the daily celebration of the Eucharist when possible.
Our View of the World
The Friars
of the Sick Poor are committed to seeing the world through the eyes of the
sick-poor and the marginalized.
We strive to respond to
the most urgent and timely needs, using all means possible to care for the
spiritual, emotional and physical needs of God's people.
Many Opportunities
The
friars are always mindful that the Church provides them opportunities to
assist the faithful of a parish or the sick-poor they minister among, to
gather in communal prayer, praying for their own particular needs and for
the needs of the whole Church.
The friars also promote
the gospel values of respect and dignity of all persons, assisting and guiding
individuals in developing their relationships with God through their commitment
to availability and spiritual direction among the sick-poor.
Wherever there is a Need
Whenever and wherever the pastoral need arises, the friars are open to other missions, which are in need of the apostolate and charism, of our Community.
We are contemporary mendicants; being self-employed, working among the sick-poor and marginalized that we serve and minister to.
