Who We Are
Saint Francis House is "a place of prayer a house of hospitality and a center for peace and justice ministry" in New London, Connecticut. Some of us are Franciscans, but all who live here constitute an intentional Christian community modeled in part on the Catholic Worker. We seek conversion of life for ourselves through friendship with and service to God and our neighbors. We pray together daily, as a community of resistance and contemplation. We ground our life in Bible study and do the work we believe God is calling us to in our inner city neighborhood. While we are not a monastic community, we live under a common rule of simplicity of life, chastity in relationships and obedience to the Gospel. We see our life together as an "experiment with truth" in the tradition of Gandhian nonviolence. We offer ourselves as the "raw materials" for this experiment and trust that God will use us as we learn to "do whatever Jesus tells us." (John 2:5)..
