Study and Prayer (Third Order Studies)

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Our Principles (Days 17 and 18) and the TSSF Basic Rule encourage us to study in an individually suitable way.

  • Study week papers are the output from annual Third Order Study weeks.
  • Other papers may now be found under the main menu item General Papers, and consist of a variety of papers written by Tertiaries in the European Province.

Message from our Protector, Bishop Michael Perham: "The Principles of the Third Order encourage all its members, according to their abilities, to study to help to become better Christians in the way of St Francis. I am delighted that Study and Prayer (Third Order Studies) has made this duty possible through enjoyable study weeks in our Franciscan houses and by papers available on the website. I warmly encourage all members of the Society, First, Second and Third Orders to avail themselves of these opportunities to learn and to grow in their Christian lives."

With Every Good Wish and Blessing.  + Michael Gloucester
