About CSF
The Community of St. Francis, founded in 1905, is an international Franciscan community. We are part of the Society of St. Francis, an Anglican (Episcopal) Religious Order.
We follow Christ in the way of St. Francis of Assisi - a way of radical Christian discipleship, community, prayer, compassionate service to our neighbors, and love of creation.
Although prayer is central to our life, we are not a monastic community located away from the world. Instead, we are right in the heart of our surrounding urban community. We live at St. Francis House,
a convent situated in the middle of the city of San Francisco, California.
