Southwest Franciscan Missions is the mission/development office of the Province and is located at the Provincial House in Albuquerque. This location physically places it between the Navajo, Pueblo and Hispanic missions that are served by the friars of Our Lady of Guadalupe Province. The office on its mission side engages in fundraising to supply the financial assistance that supports the friars and ministries in the Navajo, Pueblo, Hispanic and foreign missions. On the development side, it provides subsistence to the Province's elderly and retired friars, and supports its young men in seminary/formation training. If you would like more information from this office, or would wish to make a donation to the Province's mission work or development work, please call or write Br. Bruce at:
