Since 1961, Franciscan Mission Associates (FMA) has brought the ministry of St. Francis to people’s daily lives through a two-fold undertaking of providing spiritual and financial support.
We fundraise for the missions, ministries, and friars of the Immaculate Conception (IC) Province of the Franciscan Friars. And, we provide devotional service to our benefactors and supporters.

Prayer to St. Dymphna
Almighty and loving Father,
By the example of St. Dymphna, virgin and martyr, and by her intercession, protect all those afflicted by tension and emotional stress, to enjoy your protection in life, and eternal happiness in your presence now and forever.
I ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Saint of the month
St. Dymphna
Feast Day – May 15
Born in Ireland in the seventh century, Dymphna consecrated herself to Christ at age 14 and took a vow of chastity.
St. Dymphna’s mother died when Dymphna was just 15. This precipitated a sharp decline in her father’s mental health. Encouraged by his advisors to remarry, he decided to marry his own daughter due to her resemblance to his deceased wife.
