HISTORY OF THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER
IN THE UNITED STATES ~ VOLUME 1
1917 - 1942
"The effort mounted by former national minister Bill Wicks, SFO is monumental because, first of all, it places the present identity and mission of the SFO in the context of its history; secondly, it shows the future direction of gospel living by examining the past; and thirdly, it threads together into a unified tapestry the SFO/TOSF's movements, happenings, and objectives crossways among all the families and forward through the span of time.
As one who has been keenly involved in assisting the Secular Franciscan Order for over 32 years on the local, provincial, regional, national, and international levels, I so look forward to this history and cry out with jubilation: FINALLY! " From the foreword of the book by Fr. Benet A. Fonck, O.F.M.
