The Franciscan Missionaries of Jesus Crucified (FMJC) are communities of consecrated lay women and men, including many with disabilities, living as a secular institute. Founded in 1987, we seek to be recognized as a secular institute of pontifical rite. Our mission is to offer persons with disabilities a path to total consecration, personal holiness, and dedicated service to the Church and those in need. FMJC members live by the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience, embracing their secular lives to bring the Gospel's transformative power to the world.
