Original Franciscan "Third Order" -- Confraternity of Penitents
Make Every Day a Path to Holiness
Local Gatherings of Penitents
Penitents in close proximity to one another meet together monthly for fellowship, prayer, and formation. Many penitents do not have the opportunity to meet with others as they are isolated. Two penitents are required to form a CFP Circle.
It is not necessary to be in a local group to be part of the Confraternity of Penitents. The CFP will be in touch with you via phone, email or postal mail. Approximately 2/3 of CFP members are not in any local group.
