Since 1984 St. Camillus has been staffed by the Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province, a group of three hundred religious brothers who staff parishes and urban centers, universities and soup kitchens all along the East Coast in different sites from Boston to Tampa. Rooted in the Catholic and Franciscan Tradition, we are disciples of Christ who seek to bring the Gospel into the everyday experience of all people through popular preaching, teaching, and pastoral leadership. We foster Christian discipleship by collaborating with those whom we serve and by standing in solidarity with all people, especially the alienated, the immigrant, and the poor.

Speaking of other Franciscans, in addition to the friars on staff, you will frequently see other men in brown, walking the grounds, presiding at Mass or sitting along side of you in the pews.  They are our neighbors here at Camillus and they reside next door at Holy Name College, one of our formation houses for men in preparation for Franciscan life and ministry. Residing there you will find friars from around the country and from five different continents.
