We are the Order of Franciscan Clareans (OFC) — a new monastic, radically inclusive, justice-centered spiritual community following in the footsteps of Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi. Rooted in simplicity, solidarity, and sacred defiance, we walk the way of Jesus with the poor, the queer, the marginalized, and the earth.
🌈 Founded by Sister Abigail Hester, OFC, a transgender Christian nun, herbalist, theologian, and prophetic voice for our times, the OFC is a bold experiment in love, liberation, and contemplative resistance. Our mission is simple but revolutionary: Loving Boldly. Living Simply. Belonging Deeply.
📚 Want to dive deeper into our vision? We’ve published a growing library of powerful, provocative, and prayerful books on everything from:
- Queer and Transgender Christian theology
- Franciscan spirituality for today
- Health and holistic wellness the Franciscan Clarean way
- Daily devotionals, sermons, commentaries, and justice prayers
- Exorcism as political liberation
- Children’s books on kindness and inclusion
…and much more!
