The vocation to the Secular Franciscan Order ( the SFO) is a specific vocation that gives form to the life and apostolic activity of its members (cfr. General Constitution of the SFO (CG) 2,1).
Being encouraged with General Constitution of the SFO to be witnesses and instruments of Church’s mission among the people through their baptism and profession, the fraternity of Secular Franciscans in Staryi Ostropil strives to proclaim Jesus Christ by their life and words.
Joined by this heart desire, the fraternity members want to do it through personal witnessing in the suroundings in which they live and service for the sake of building up the Kingdom of God within the situations of present-day Ukraine determined by God's Providence (cfr. SFO Rule 14; GC 20,1; 17,1).
Together with the Roman-Catholic Church in Ukraine the members of the SFO in Stary Ostropil aim "to spread the Gospel message and the Franciscan lifestyle” (cfr. CG 102,2), especially to collaborate in spreading "the new evangelization”, promoted by the Holy Spirit ( GC 99,1).
In 2009 the Personal Fraternity of the SFO in Staryi Ostropil (Khmelnytskyi Region) was canonically established on the ground of the local fraternity (cfr. GC 46, 28.3), which had been declared as a canonical one with the Decree of the Vice Provincial Minister of Capuchins in Ukraine fr.Blazej Suska in 2008 (cfr. GC 88.2a).
