Live and pray with the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement—called to “to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way”—and explore a vocation to religious life with the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. Single Catholic men between 21-40 are invited to apply to the Our Lady of the Atonement House of Discernment, which is located in the heart of Manhattan.
