About the Ministry
Franciscan Chaplaincy Ministry
Our chaplaincy is dedicated to community presence and emergency response support, serving individuals in times of crisis, need, and transition.
This includes:
- Community chaplaincy outreach
- First responders emergency support
- Pastoral accompaniment in difficult circumstances
“This ministry is rooted in the Catholic Franciscan tradition, while maintaining a pastoral openness in service to all.”
Eric Michel Ministries International is a Catholic Franciscan apostolate dedicated to:
- Spiritual formation and renewal
- Pastoral care and sacramental life
- Evangelization rooted in tradition
- Fraternal community in the Franciscan spirit
Guided by the charism of simplicity, humility, and charity, this ministry seeks to bring souls into deeper communion with Christ and His Church.
Our Mission
To live and share the Gospel in the spirit of Saint Francis:
- To restore faith where it has grown cold
- To accompany those seeking God
- To build a visible and living community of prayer
Media Ministry
We proclaim the Gospel through modern means of communication:
- Social media evangelization
- Collaboration with Roman Catholic parishes
- Catholic content distribution and formation
A Place of Prayer
At the heart of this ministry is a life of prayer.
From the Manse Chapel, a small domestic chapel where intimate liturgical celebrations are held, to online gatherings, we foster a living community united in prayer.
Regular Cenacles of Prayer are offered both in person (limited capacity) and via Zoom, welcoming all who seek spiritual communion.
Invitation
You are welcome here—whether you are seeking guidance, prayer, or simply a place of peace.
Whether you are searching for spiritual direction, a place of prayer, or a renewed relationship with God, you are welcome here.
“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
— Saint Francis of Assisi
