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. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph,
You gave your life to humble labor,
Guiding and protecting the Holy Family
With faithfulness, strength, and unwavering trust in God.
We honor you as a model of diligence and integrity.
Through your tireless work,
You teach us the dignity and purpose of human labor,
And remind us that our daily toil, when offered to God,
Becomes an act of love and service.
Help us to follow your example in our work,
Performing our tasks with patience, commitment, and joy.
Intercede for us, that we may always respect the rights
And dignity of workers everywhere.
St. Joseph, protector of all who labor,
Pray for us, that we may imitate your life of faithful service
And always seek to glorify God in our work.
Amen.
Saint of the month
St. Joseph
Feast Day – March 19
Saint Joseph is a model of many virtues. As the foster-father of Jesus, he protected Him and Mary and built a home for them. Like Jesus, Joseph shows us that human labor gives honor to God.
During his life, Joseph watched over both Mary and Jesus. He was following the directions that he received in dreams to keep Jesus and Mary safe.
Joseph is seldom mentioned in the New Testament, but these rare encounters show his strength of character, the respect he enjoyed in the community, his ability to act quickly when faced with danger, his kindness, and his intuition.
