We are a Franciscan Marianist & Teilhardist Organisation that operates different ministries. Ministers and Brothers serve as chaplains in prisons, hospitals, the military, police and fire departments. Friars serving as chaplains do not live in a friary but meet regularly to pray, eat and celebrate the Eucharist. Under the charter membership of the Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist, each charter member will operate independently, maintaining their current system of disciplines and teachings. We accept the authority of the Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist over all matters of Faith and Practices. Ministers serve in sacramental ministry in addition to the many other ways a brother may, such as in religious education, teaching, administration, service to the poor, the arts, worship, counselling, and more. All friars bring their gifts and join the team of friars and lay ministers, serving for the good of the Church of Christ. We are part of the Province of Saint Mary Theotokos, North American Continent Charters. Eric Michel Ministries International Charter of Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist Charter # 04062022 (Hawkesbury, Ontario, ​Canada) Date of Charter: April 06, 2022.
