Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist Objective
 
On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, the OFE Board of Directors and Council meeting was convened for the approval of the Amendments to the General Constitutions. The Objective of the Order was approved.
 
Guided by the grace of the Holy Spirit we are called to achieve the Objective of the Order:
 
“Clerics, whatever their condition, are to care in their heart for all of the Churches, and therefore to serve her wherever there is great necessity; let them show willingness, especially with the permission or encouragement of their own eparchial bishop or superior, to exercise their ministry in the missions or in regions laboring under a shortage of clergy.” (1990 Code of Canons of Oriental (Eastern) Churches, Canon 393)
 
The Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist objective is achieved when our religious    order and/or priests are recognized and/or incardinated into a participating Eastern Ecclesia which is in union with Rome. The priest and his wife shall then, per Eastern Canon 393, be loaned to a Roman Catholic Diocese which is experiencing a shortage of priests.
