The Franciscan Friars of the Province of St. Barbara, a Roman Catholic religious order of men, are committed to serving the poor and advocating for justice, peace, care of creation, and reconciliation. With members from diverse backgrounds and cultures, they embody the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and operate in California, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington, as well as in Native American communities in the Southwest and on missions abroad.
Established in 1915, the Province of St. Barbara is one of seven Franciscan entities in the United States. The friars live and work in communities that span ethnic, cultural, and economic boundaries, and they extend their services to Mexico, Russia, and the Holy Land. Through their dedicated efforts, they strive to make a positive impact on society and uphold the values of their religious order.
