Franciscan Life
The Charism of the The Franciscans of Halifax is the Gospel, namely to "observe the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, living in obedience, without anything of their own and in chastity" according to the Rule of St. Francis. They fulfill this gift and call of the Holy Spirit by being a family that is gathered by Our Lord Jesus Christ, dwells in His Presence and becomes therefore a seed of communion with God for everybody, wherever this family would go.

Active Life
The Active brothers and sisters leave everything behind to offer their life to serve and "rebuild the Church" as the Universal Sacrament of Salvation, for the Glory of God the Father and the Salvation of all humanity, fulfilling the call to the New Evangelization, which means: "helping people to meet Christ and to build a personal loving relationship with Him today".
