RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUAL ASSISTANTS AND THE FRATERNITY

• Fraternities become “devotional societies.”
What A Spiritual Assistant Is Not
• Not a “director”• Not the “leader”• Not in charge of all spiritual
teaching• Not the secretary or treasurer• Not an “ know it all” spiritual
assistant
• Pius XII, a tertiary, started the program of renewal of the Third Order as it was called then.
• Work that begun in the 1940s eventually resulted in our Rule of 1978.
• What is the Secular Franciscan Order?AutonomousOne OrderUnitedSecular
• Not an appendage to First Order/T.O.R
